Cultural Influences on Family Mealtime Routines in Mexico: Focus Group Study with Mexican Mothers
Mexico's obesity rates are alarming, and experts project drastic increases in the next thirty years. There is growing interest in understanding how remote acculturation and globalization processes influence health behaviors. The present study used focus group data from a central state, San Luis Potosí, in Mexico to explore mothers' perspectives on factors that influence family mealtime routines. Thematic analysis was used to identify barriers and…
Jailed Fathers and Family Complexity
When individuals have biological children with more than one partner (multipartner fertility [MPF]), they, on average, experience less ability to care for their children and work with coparents (compared with those with children from a single partner or fewer partners). These problems can be further exacerbated when one partner is incarcerated. Under such conditions, service agencies are particularly crucial for these families. For services to be…
Continued Barriers Affecting Hispanic Families’ Dietary Patterns
Obesity and changing dietary patterns continue to be concerning issues among Hispanic immigrant families. Using consumer acculturation theory, the researchers conducted three focus groups with 19 mothers to examine changing behaviors (postimmigration) that affect healthy eating habits. Using a priori codes and data displays, the analysis revealed that mothers: (i) realize family food consumption needs to be healthier; (ii) recognize as barriers f…

Enhancing the practice of immigrant child welfare social workers in the United States
Responding to the needs of growing immigrant populations, many US social service sectors have recruited bilingual and bicultural practitioners, including immigrants. However, little is known about the immigrant social workers. This article explores the practice context of immigrant child welfare social workers in the United States. First, acculturation theory is applied to frame the experiences of US immigrants. Second, we explore professional de…
Helping Dual-Earner Couples Manage Work–Partner Interferences: A Program Evaluation
This study explored the effectiveness and informed further development of a brief intervention designed to teach couples strategies for managing interferences from work to their romantic relationship. A pretest/posttest design with a control group measured the impact of the intervention on married couples’ work–partner balance skills and strategies and their relationship satisfaction. Couples in the intervention group improved in areas of work–pa…
Challenges and Strengths of Immigrant Latino Families in the Rural Midwest
This study assessed challenges and strengths reported by 112 Latin American immigrant mothers in rural Illinois communities. Respondents (mean age = 34.5 years; 93% Mexican) took part in structured interviews that covered a range of topics relevant to their families and the broader Latino community. These Latina mothers emphasized language, documentation, and economic issues as key challenges for immigrants. Some challenges decreased with time in…
Stress, Social Support, and Depression: A Test of the Stress‐Buffering Hypothesis in a Mexican Sample
This study examined social support as a potential moderator between stress and depressive symptoms among Mexican university applicants aged 16–21 years ( N = 6,715; M age = 17.9 years; 55% female). In bivariate analyses, perceived stress was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, and social support with lower levels of both stress and depression. Moderation analyses conducted using hierarchical multiple regressions indicated that g…

The Effect of Different Cultural Lenses on Reliability and Validity in Observational Data: The Example of Chinese Immigrant Parent–Toddler Dinner Interactions
This study used a mixed methodology to investigate reliability, validity, and analysis level with Chinese immigrant observational data. European‐American and Chinese coders quantitatively rated 755 minutes of Chinese immigrant parent–toddler dinner interactions on parental sensitivity, intrusiveness, detachment, negative affect, positive affect, and parents' confidence. They also gave qualitative coding rationales for their quantitative ratings. …
Green Common Spaces and the Social Integration of Inner-City Older Adults
For older adults, social integration and the strength of social ties are profoundly important predictors of well-being and longevity. Can the physical environment be designed to promote older adults' social integration with their neighbors? We examined this possibility by testing the relationships between varying amount of exposure to green outdoor common spaces and the strength of ties among neighbors. Results of interviews with 91 older adults …
Personal Storytelling as a Medium of Socialization in Chinese and American Families
The goal of this study was to determine how personal storytelling functions as a socializing practice within the family context in middle-class Taiwanese and middle-class European American families. The data consist of more than 200 naturally occurring stories in which the past experiences of the focal child, aged 2,6, were narrated. These stories were analyzed at 3 levels: content, function, and structure. Findings converged across these analyti…
