Happiness in Havana? Día de Reyes as an Emotional Refuge in Colonial Cuba
This article draws on William Reddy’s framework of emotional regimes and refuges to assess marginalized emotionality in colonial Cuba and to position Día de Reyes as an important emotional refuge. Día de Reyes, or ‘Day of Kings,’ in colonial Cuba marked not only a holy day on the Catholic sacred calendar, but also a holiday for the island’s Afro-Cuban population. On this day each year, the enslaved were granted their freedom and allowed to celebr…
Learning How to Drive
This collaborative autoethnography uses the prompt of 'learning to drive' as a pivot point of critically remembering aspects of the authors being and becoming; from the earned autonomy of operating a vehicle to a broader sense of self-determination, social responsibility, and determined directionality as literal and figurative metaphor for life choices. The authors from diverse backgrounds working in the same academic institution engage the proce…
Dietary Quality and Perceived Barriers to Weight Loss among Older Overweight Veterans with Dysmobility
Healthier diets are associated with higher muscle mass and physical performance which may reduce the risk of developing frailty and disability later in life. This study examined the dietary quality and self-reported weight loss barriers among older (>60 years), overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) Veterans with dysmobility (low gait speed, impaired mobility diagnosis, or a comorbidity that results in impaired mobility). Habitual dietary intake and healthy…
Method Infinite
In America 's God (2002), Mark Noll reasoned that "Explaining changes of theological conviction by reference to political and intellectual events does not necessarily entail a reduction of religion to more basic secular realities.Rather, attempting to comprehend religion and society in the same narrative allows for a story with flesh and blood instead of a bloodless ballet of abstract dogmas" (6).In this spirit, Cheryl Bruno, Joe Swick, and Nicho…
Ecologia Do Desejo
Na década de 1980, como política pública de Estado, instituiu-se um método investigativo de campo destinado a qualificar as ações de localização e monitoramento dos povos indígenas isolados da Amazônia. Tal método visa garantir a estes povos o direito originário aos seus territórios, sem desrespeitar sua decisão pelo isolamento. Qualificar este método a partir dos saberes e perspectivas nativas tem sido o objetivo de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras…
Integrated energy-water-land nexus planning to guide national policy
Despite broad consensus on the benefits of a nexus approach to multi-sector planning, actual implementation in government and other decision-making institutions is still rare. This study presents an approach to conducting integrated energy-water-land (EWL) planning, using Uruguay as an example. This stakeholder-driven study focuses on assessing the EWL nexus implications of actual planned policies aimed at strengthening three of Uruguay’s key exp…
Tribute to Raymond Buriel (1948-2017)
On June 21, 2017, the fields of Latinx Psychology, Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies, and education lost a trailblazing researcher, teacher, and mentor. Dr. Raymond Buriel made significant contributions to the study of acculturation and adjustment of Mexican immigrant families, with a special emphasis on the characteristics of immigrant students that are conducive to academic success. His seminal and widely cited publications on the psychological develo…
Cultural Involvement, Indigenous Identity, and Language
This exploratory study analyzed the influence of Zapotec parental socialization practices on the cultural awareness and involvement, ethnic identity, and Zapotec language use of their adolescent children. A total of 15 parent-child dyads participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents. Adolescents responded to corresponding open-ended questions in a written survey. Results indicate that the children of parents wh…
Academic Resilience Among Undocumented Latino Students
This study examined the academic resilience of undocumented immigrant Latino students. It was hypothesized that due to their legal and social marginalization, students who experienced high risk accompanied by high levels of both personal and environmental protective factors would have higher academic outcomes than students with lower levels of these protective resources. The results from regression and cluster analyses ( N = 104) indicated that d…
Toward a Population Health Model of Segmented Assimilation
The authors adapt the segmented assimilation theory to a model of population health, which posits that assimilation is actually harmful to migrants' health. The authors also specify models of individual and contextual factors to indirectly test the theory of segmented assimilation- a theory that posits interactions between individual and residential circumstances. Using Year 2000 vital statistics data merged with 2000 U.S. census data from Los An…
Acculturation, Social Identity, and Social Cognition
The authors argue in this article that new approaches are needed in the study of psychological acculturation. They posit that a new model of psychological acculturation should incorporate contemporary work in social and cognitive psychology. The model they present builds on previous research in the areas of social cognition, cultural competence, social identity, and social stigma. Each of these perspectives is discussed in accordance with its rel…
Cultural Orientation across Three Generations of Hispanic Adolescents
Acculturation among Hispanic adolescents involves learning the behaviors, beliefs, and values of American culture. This study examined changes in cultural orientation across three generations of adolescents (N = 203). Results indicated that Hispanic cultural orientation decreases in a linear trend across the first three generations, whereas American cultural orientation increases linearly. These findings suggest that within a few generations, mos…
The Relationship of Language Brokering to Academic Performance, Biculturalism, and Self-Efficacy among Latino Adolescents
Children who interpret for their immigrant parents are referred to as language brokers. The present study examines the relationship of language brokering to academic performance, biculturalism, academic self-efficacy, and social self-efficacy. The many adultlike experiences of children who broker on a regular basis suggest that their cognitive and socioemotional development may be accelerated relative to children of immigrant families who broker …
