Men’s social relationships, health, and well-being in the United States
Shifting Pathways to Adulthood
INTRODUCTION: This study tests cohort, gender, and ethnic differences in college students' self-articulated life goals and describes their time frames for completion before and during the pandemic lockdown. METHODS: College-enrolled students in southern California (M age = 20.20; SE = 0.05) from six ethnic groups participated in a survey in 2008 (n = 621) and in 2021 (n = 560). Open-ended responses to life goals were coded into 10 goal domains, a…
With status comes responsibility
The current study investigated which causal beliefs for socioeconomic status (SES) attainment map onto endorsement of noblesse oblige ;(i.e. the belief that powerful others are obligated to give back). Noblesse oblige endorsement was positively associated with opportunity belief (i.e. opportunity drives SES attainment) but not merit belief (i.e. merit drives SES attainment) or chance belief (i.e. chance drives SES attainment) (Study 1; n = 562). …

The Materialistic Consumer
Understanding predictors of consumerism, particularly those reflective of how individuals believe society functions, is an emerging, yet understudied, area of research. Recent findings have shown a link between perceived social mobility and materialism. However, it remains unclear how the perceived causes of socioeconomic status (SES) attainment predict consumerism. The current study ( N = 171) showed that believing SES was attained through indiv…
The double pandemic
Findings reaffirm the need to focus on Asian Americans' experiences and expand current conceptualizations of cultural stress to include macrolevel structural processes (COVID stress and racial discrimination) and its implications for identity and civic engagement.

Opportunity's Calling
Although objective states of inequality often stifle civic engagement, subjective perceptions of inequality can stimulate it. Across two studies using a nationally representative US sample (Study 1, n = 1053) and a US university student sample (Study 2, n = 604), we found that the perception of inequality was positively associated with civic engagement. We further explored the mediating pathways linking this association. We found that perceived i…
Validity, Reliability, and Cross-Cultural Comparability of a Problematic Overstudying Scale across European, North American, and Asian countries
Problematic overstudying has been conceptualized as a potential addictive disorder and an early form of work addiction. Previous studies have shown that it is a different phenomenon from healthy learning engagement and is associated with considerable functional impairments. A valid, reliable, and convenient screening measure is warranted to provide cross-culturally comparable and generalizable findings, particularly from large epidemiological stu…
Causal Beliefs for Socioeconomic Status Attainment Scale
That individuals attain socioeconomic status (SES) through their own effort and ability, which is a staple pillar of the meritocratic ethos and has been a popular topic of inquiry within social psychology. However, this focus on merit overshadowed other important causal factors that contribute to one's SES, such as opportunity and chance. This study presents psychometrically validated scales measuring one's causal beliefs of SES attainment for th…
Self-Actualization and the Integration of Psychedelic Experience
There is a growing need in the field of psychedelic science for a unifying perspective of overall well-being to join seemingly disparate findings across clinical and non-clinical populations, and account for the unique role of post-psychedelic integration for promoting benefits. According to the eudaimonic perspective of well-being, the stories we create about who we are (self-insight) and who we can become (personal development) are key aspects …
Developmental goals during the transition to young adulthood
Adolescents navigate the transition into young adulthood through their pursuit of developmental goals. While societal expectations and institutions provide normed paths to adulthood by shaping decisions on goal identification, individuals take various routes to attain adult-status through different goal prioritization. Using longitudinal data from a U.S. sample of 1,088 adolescents (55.6% female; 25.3% Whites, 19.8% Asians, 30.4% Latinx, 12.6% Mu…
Friends, family, and romantic partners
How are different social relationships jointly and uniquely associated with older women's health and well-being, and what is the directionality of these associations? We address these questions using longitudinal data from the Midlife in the United States study. We find that relationship quality with romantic partners, family, and friends is positively linked with better health and well-being concurrently and longitudinally. Cross-lagged analyses…
Subjective Age at Work
Using a life-span theoretical perspective, the present study examined how subjective age relates to perceived control and motivational investment in the work domain. Data from the Midlife in the United States National Study of Health and Well-Being (MIDUS I, II, and III; 1995–2013; n = 2,395) were analyzed using parallel process growth curve modeling. Our analyses used a mediation framework and focused on how changes in subjective age relate to c…
