How Do College Students Use Their Free Time? A Latent Profile Analysis of Leisure Activities and Substance Use
College is a critical period of transition to independence and the substantial amount of time that students have to participate in leisure activities may be conducive to substance use. However, little is known about the associations between leisure activities and substance use over time, or whether these associations differ by residential status (i.e., living with parents vs. on their own). Using latent profile analysis, this study found six dist…
Pathways to Sexual Health Among Refugee Young Women: A Contextual Approach
Exploring the contribution of racially based harassment and personality to variation in native and American identity in immigrant-origin youth
The rejection-identification model posits that, when faced with racially based harassment, immigrant-origin youth will protect their self-concept by detaching from the national culture and identifying more with the native culture. Although research has linked personality to responses to interpersonal stressors, personality contributions to native and American identity independently, and in the context of racially based harassment, have not been c…
The Role of School‐based Group Mentoring in Promoting Resilience among Vulnerable High School Students
This study examined the role of participation in a year‐long school‐based group mentoring program, Project Arrive ( PA ), on increasing resilience during the first year of high school among students identified as being at high risk for school dropout. Participants were 114, ninth grade students taking part in one of 32 PA mentoring groups, and 71 statistically matched comparison students (53% male, 75% eligible for free/reduced‐price lunch, 62% L…
School-Based Group Mentoring and Academic Outcomes in Vulnerable High-School Students
This study examined the association between participation in a school-based group-mentoring program (Project Arrive) and academic outcomes in a group of ninth-grade students who had been identified as at high risk of high-school dropout ( n = 239). Comparison participants were ninth-grade students with similar levels of risk ( n = 980). Using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) with a propensity score to reduce selection bias, and a…
Maternal HIV and Adolescent Functioning in South Africa: The Role of the Mother-Child Relationship
Black South Africans are disproportionately affected by HIV compared with White counterparts. In their unique social context, South African families affected by HIV are vulnerable to adverse psychosocial effects. U.S.-based and emerging South African research suggests mothers living with HIV may experience compromised parenting. In the United States, mother-child relationship quality has been associated with internalizing (anxiety, depression) an…
Elaborating the Connection between Social Class and Classism in College
Highlights Financial stress is a key predictor of classism among college students. Financial stress predicts classism across immigration status and race. For U.S. born students, higher reported social class predicts greater exposure to classist narratives
Help-Seeking Stigma in Asian American College Women: The Role of Disordered Eating Cognitions and Psychological Inflexibility
From Moment to Movement: Empowerment and Resilience as a Framework for Collective Action in Hong Kong
The Transconceptual Model of Empowerment and Resilience ( American Journal of Community Psychology , 52, 2013, 333) suggests that a set of resilience and empowerment resources fuel both initial and sustained participation in collective action. Using the case study of a prodemocracy movement in Hong Kong, the present study focused on the subset of those resources that are relevant in ongoing collective action: efficacy, skills, and maintenance. As…
Gang Involvement among Immigrant and Refugee Youth: A Developmental Ecological Systems Approach
Immigrant and refugee youth are at elevated risk for joining gangs, which, in turn, is associated with a host of maladaptive outcomes. Previous literature on risk and protective factors for immigrant and refugee youth gang involvement has been inconclusive. Applying a developmental ecological syste ms approach, this study investigated contextual influences on immigrant and refugee gang involvement across three ecological systems (i.e., ontogenic …

Racial discrimination, multiple group identities, and civic beliefs among immigrant adolescents
The present study tested the independent and interactive effects of multiple group identities (i.e., American and ethnic) and racial discrimination on civic beliefs among immigrant adolescents. Seventy-seven participants completed a questionnaire during after-school programs. Ethnic identity was positively associated with civic beliefs whereas racial discrimination was negatively related to civic beliefs, and racial discrimination moderated the r…

A Life Domains Perspective on Acculturation and Psychological Adjustment: A Study of Refugees from the Former Soviet Union
The study articulates a contextual approach to research on acculturation of immigrants, suggesting that the relationship between acculturation and adjustment is dependent on the cultural demands of the life domains considered. Specifically, the study investigated the mediating effects of adjustment in occupational and social life domains on the relationship between acculturation and psychological adjustment for 391 refugees from the former Soviet…

Cross‐sectional and longitudinal effects of sixth‐grade setting‐level norms for nonviolent problem solving on aggression and associated attitudes
Setting‐level norms are typically measured by using the mean of individual reports. Investigating norms for nonviolent problem solving, this study assessed the added value of two additional characteristics: the range of acceptable behaviors and the degree of consensus among individuals in each setting. Using data from 5,386 participants in a violence prevention project (74 classes), this study estimated the cross‐sectional and longitudinal effect…
Multiple identities of Jewish immigrant adolescents from the former Soviet Union: An exploration of salience and impact of ethnic identity
The current paper explores the salience and impact of ethnic and national identities for immigrants that are negotiating more than two cultures. Specifically, we were interested in the ways in which Jewish immigrant adolescents from the former Soviet Union integrate their Russian, Jewish, and American identities, and to what extent identification with these three cultures predicts adaptation to varied life domains. In order to examine whether bei…
