Psychometric Validation and Health Correlates of the Discrimination Reactivity Questionnaire
Discrimination stress has been linked with adverse mental and physical health, though individual variability in the associated health consequences exists. Established discrimination measures typically focus on the frequency of discriminatory events. However, the current study validates a measure to assess the reactivity component of discrimination stress by developing and validating the Discrimination Reactivity Questionnaire (DRQ) in 2,083 stude…
Perceived appearance pressures from close social relationships and disinhibited eating
OBJECTIVE: Perceived sociocultural appearance pressures have been widely studied as predictors of body image and eating concerns. However, few studies have distinguished between pressures from mothers and fathers or examined their relative influence on these outcomes among young adults. Additionally, efforts to diversify body image research remain limited, often constrained by a focus on the West and East, neglecting regions such as South Asia. T…
Bicultural identity integration, depressive symptoms, and emotional eating among Asian and Latino undergraduate students in the U.S
College students increasingly identify as bicultural. Bicultural identity integration (BII), the extent to which an individual can effectively manage their various cultural identities, has been associated with mental health, including depressive symptoms. However, few studies have examined the association between BII and eating behaviors among racial/ethnic minority students, even though these students are at high risk for disordered eating behav…
The role of acculturative stress and self-construal in maladaptive eating behaviors among female young adults in diverse college settings
The increasing cultural diversity in the United States means more college students identify with racial and ethnic minority backgrounds and may experience acculturative stress. Emerging research has found an association between acculturative stress and maladaptive eating. However, these studies rarely consider other theoretical factors or confounders, and individual differences. Thus, the unique contribution of acculturative stress and the genera…
Internalized weight bias and eating disorder risk
Strengthening Recruitment and Retention
Implementation of these mitigation strategies improved recruitment and retention success, and we are confident that the solutions presented will support future scientists in addressing sociocultural challenges while embarking on collaborative research projects in Pakistan and other low-middle-income countries
Domestic violence assault during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic
Results suggest that surges in DV vary between communities and that systemic issues may set the stage for the surge of an already endemic problem
Acculturative stress and eating disinhibition among Asian young adults
Acculturative stress is associated with health behaviors that have downstream consequences for health outcomes. Eating disinhibition, a behavior characterized by eating emotionally and uncontrollably in the presence of disinhibiting stimuli, has been consistently associated with acculturative stress, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. The current study sought to test the role of depressive symptoms and gender on these associatio…
Comorbid Anxiety and Depression among Pregnant Pakistani Women
Anxiety and depression commonly co-occur during pregnancy and may increase risk of poor birth outcomes including preterm birth and low birth weight. Our understanding of rates, patterns, and predictors of comorbid anxiety and depression is hindered given the dearth of literature, particularly in low- and middle-income (LMI) countries. The aim of this study is (1) to explore the prevalence and patterns of comorbid antenatal anxiety and depressive …
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Changing Levels of Psychosocial Distress Scores across Pregnancy in Kenyan Women
Higher total ACEs were positively associated with depressive symptoms and perceived stress during pregnancy, suggesting that mental disorders may have an impact on pregnancy outcomes and ought to be addressed. Further validation of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) tool in local settings is required
Measurement of a Latino cultural value
The Simpatía Scale, which captures dual aspects of simpatía that emphasize the positive and avoid the negative, provides a new tool for advancing the study of Latino culture. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
Culture as a Pathway to Maximizing the Stress-Buffering Role of Social Support
We theorized that sociocultural contexts characterized by a form of interdependence that emphasizes mutual obligations, emotional positivity, and readily accessible social support from family may maximize the benefits of social support. This form of interdependence characterizes Latino culture and is captured by the cultural value familism. Eighty-six Latino and non-Latino participants completed measures of familism and perceived social support b…
The effect of guided relaxation on cortisol and affect
Stress-reduction interventions have been linked with enhanced well-being and health. This study examined affect and cortisol in 111 individuals randomly assigned to a single 35-minute guided relaxation or a stress management lecture control group. Positive affect increased more in the relaxation compared to the control group ( F = 6.62, p = .01). Dispositional stress reactivity had a moderating influence ( R2 = .248, p < .001), such that individu…
Are the costs of neuroticism inevitable? Evidence of attenuated effects in U.S. Latinas
Neuroticism is the heritable and stable personality trait defined by the tendency to experience negative emotion, be easily stressed, and slow to soothe. Neuroticism poses a risk for poor social and health outcomes that has been identified as a major public health concern. To date, factors that attenuate neuroticism's costs have not been identified. The goal of this work was to test the hypothesis that the costs of neuroticism would be attenuated…
