The influence of discrimination on smoking cessation among Latinos
Associations Between Health Literacy and Established Predictors of Smoking Cessation
Objectives. We examined associations between health literacy and predictors of smoking cessation among 402 low-socioeconomic status (SES), racially/ethnically diverse smokers. Methods. Data were collected as part of a larger study evaluating smoking health risk messages. We conducted multiple linear regression analyses to examine relations between health literacy and predictors of smoking cessation (i.e., nicotine dependence, smoking outcome expe…
Mediators of Discrimination and Self-rated Health among African Americans
Perceived discrimination may contribute to poorer self-rated health among African Americans through heightened levels of stress and depression. Interventions addressing these mechanisms might help reduce the impact of discrimination on health. Definitive results await longitudinal study designs to assess causal pathways
Discrimination, Affect, and Cancer Risk Factors among African Americans
Discrimination may influence certain behavioral risk factors for cancer through heightened levels of stress and depressive symptoms. Interventions to reduce cancer risk may need to address experiences of discrimination, as well as the stress and depression they engender

Promoting Self–Compassionate Attitudes Toward Eating Among Restrictive and Guilty Eaters
This study investigated the possibility that inducing a state of self–compassion would attenuate the tendency for restrained eaters to overeat after eating an unhealthy food preload (the disinhibition effect). College women completed measures of two components of rigid restrained eating: restrictive eating (desire and effort to avoid eating unhealthy foods) and eating guilt (tendency to feel guilty after eating unhealthily). Then, participants we…
Self-compassion and reactions to unpleasant self-relevant events: The implications of treating oneself kindly
Five studies investigated the cognitive and emotional processes by which self-compassionate people deal with unpleasant life events. In the various studies, participants reported on negative events in their daily lives, responded to hypothetical scenarios, reacted to interpersonal feedback, rated their or others' videotaped performances in an awkward situation, and reflected on negative personal experiences. Results from Study 1 showed that self-…
Hypo‐Egoic Self‐Regulation: Exercising Self‐Control by Diminishing the Influence of the Self
Theory and research dealing with self‐regulation have focused primarily on instances of self‐regulation that involve high levels of self‐reflection and effortful self‐control. However, intentionally trying to control one's behavior sometimes reduces the likelihood of achieving one's goals. This article examines the process of hypo‐egoic self‐regulation in which people relinquish deliberate, conscious control over their own behavior so that they w…
