The relationship of cultural variables to attitudes toward prescription drug usage among Iranian/Persian Americans
The present study examined the effects of cultural factors(ethnic identity, acculturation, perceived discrimination, and religiosity), derived from the Multicultural Assessment-Intervention Process (MAIP) model, on attitudes toward prescription drug use among Iranian/Persian Americans across the United States. The study consisted of a final sample of 454 Iranian/Persian American adult participants. The results indicated that Iranian/Persian Ameri…
The Relationship among Cultural Variables and Mental Health for Chinese International Students in the U.S
The current study examined the impact of multicultural factors (ethnic identity, acculturation, perceived discrimination, and gender role attitudes) on the mental health of Chinese international students in the U.S. The study was guided by the Multicultural Assessment-Intervention Process (MAIP) model that focuses on multicultural issues imbedded in mental health service delivery and research. Using a convenience sample of 315 Chinese internation…
The relationship among cultural variables and weight issues for Asian American women
The present study investigated whether multicultural variables derived from the Multicultural Assessment‐Intervention Process model (shifting, gender roles, acculturation, perceived discrimination) could predict levels of internalized weight bias (IWB) or disordered eating behaviours in 429 Asian American adult women. A facet of shifting, White beauty conformity and mainstream acculturation were the only multicultural variables that significantly…
Shifting mediates the relationship between ethnic identity, acculturation status, and racism-related stress among Asian American women
Perceived discrimination and Asian cultural values are associated with beliefs about psychological services among Chinese international students
Development and validation of the Asian American Women’s Shifting Scale (AsAWSS)
The present research developed and validated an instrument to measure shifting or self-altering presentation strategies among Asian American women. A 12-item instrument was developed to measure components of shifting phenomena based in part on literature review, focus group feedback, and an assessment from cultural experts. The initial validation study, using principal axis factor analysis with a promax rotation, was conducted with a national sam…
Shifting Can Be Stressful for African American Women
The present study was designed to examine shifting, the phenomenon of altering or modifying one's self-presentation in different social contexts, as a mediator of the predictive effects of African American women's acculturation on their perceived race-related stress. To explore this issue, measures of African American acculturation, shifting, and race-related stress were examined within a structural model. The current study quantitatively examine…
Predictors of quality of life of Portuguese Americans
Utilising the Multicultural Assessment-Intervention Process (MAIP) framework, the present study examined the effects of acculturation, ethnic identity, and religiosity on Portuguese Americans’ perceptions of their quality of life. Several culturally-sensitive variables were used to predict quality of life attitudes among a convenience sample of 305 Portuguese American adults. A structural model with quality of life as the outcome variable, Portug…
Development and validation of the American Dream Scale
The present research developed and validated an instrument, the American Dream Scale (ADS), to measure a small business orientation conceptualized as petty bourgeois mentality. The initial exploratory study, using principal components analysis with promax rotation, was performed on the data from a convenience sample of 349 university students. A total of 17 items of the original 45 prototype items emerged from the analysis to comprise the ADS inv…

Intercultural communication competence revisited
Development and validation of the African American Women’s Shifting Scale (AAWSS)
A structural model was developed based on the Multicultural Assessment-Intervention Process (MAIP) framework that allowed for the exploration of the shifting construct. Implications for future research are discussed
Predictors of self-perceived cultural competence among children’s mental health providers
Based on empirical research and predictions from the Multicultural Assessment-Intervention Process model, the racial attitudes, ethnic identity, and acculturation of a national sample of 371 child mental health service providers were assessed as possible predictors of practitioner self-perceived cultural competence. It was hypothesized that ethnic identity and racial attitudes would each directly affect self-perceived cultural competence and that…
Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Acculturation Rating Scale–II Scale 2
The present study compared the dimensionality and viability of Cuéllar, Arnold, and Maldonado’s 18-item Marginality Scale to the recently proposed 17-item revision of this scale by Gutierrez, Franco, Powell, Peterson, and Reid. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a 15-item 3-factor solution based on Cuéllar et al. and a 17-item 2-factor solution based on Gutierrez et al. both produced adequate fits to the data. However, MANOVA results usi…
An analysis of the Multicultural Assessment Intervention Process model
Multiple regression models linking client counselor preferences, client-provider ethnic/racial match and provider self-perceived cultural competence to clinical outcome was developed with samples of African American, Latino American and White American adult outpatient community mental health clients (n=1153). The models tested hypothesized relationships of cultural factors predicted by the Multicultural Assessment Intervention Process model. Meas…
Cultural Competency Revised
The authors describe the development of the California Brief Multicultural Competence Scale (CBMCS). The 21 -item CBMCS was derived from principal component analysis, item content validated by a panel of experts, and confirmatory factor analyses. Several studies provided internal consistency, subscale intercorrelations, criterion-related validation, and assessment of possible social desirability contamination
Effects of Latino Acculturation and Ethnic Identity on Mental Health Outcomes
The relationships among client-therapist ethnic match, client age group, client acculturation, ethnic identity, and generation level and their effect on client global assessment of function (GAF), total mental health visits, and costs were examined with a sample of 204 Latino adult and child community mental health clients. Acculturation was measured using the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II (ARSMA-II), and the Multigroup Ethn…
Ethnic match and client ethnicity effects on global assessment and visitation
The effects of client-therapist ethnic match and client ethnicity on therapist-evaluated Global Assessment of Function (GAF) and visitation were investigated. The sample consisted of several thousand outpatient clients of a Southern California community mental health center. Findings indicated that unadjusted GAF-intake and GAF-termination scores were higher for ethnically matched Latino and Asian Americans but not for African and White Americans…
Memory for conversation
A grammar of simple (one‐topic) dyadic conversation was postulated and examined in two experiments. The first experiment attempted to assess the extent to which subjects spontaneously utilized the grammatical rule structure by employing a dialogue‐generation task. It was found that the subject‐generated dialogues tended to closely match the proposed grammar. The second experiment demonstrated that structural violations but not recall instructions…
