African American Faith Communities and Public Health
A Comparison of Psychosocial Services for Enhancing Cultural Adaptation and Global Functioning for Immigrant Survivors of Torture
Using Cross-Cultural Collaboration to Establish a Working Coalition for An Equitable Covid-19 Vaccine Program
Coalitions and collaborations with African Americans in the United States are often between people with equal humanity but unequal power. Endeavors between historically harmed communities and representatives of systems that continue to harm them frequently lead to intentional and unintentional miscommunication, mistrust, and distrust. The causes for health inequity are complex and should include consideration of systemic racism. In most standard …
Health inequities and social determinants of health in refugee and immigrant communities
This article evaluates and elucidates the intersections across social and economic determinants of health and social structures that maintain current inequities and structural violence with a focus on the impact on imMigrants (immigrants and migrants), refugees, and those who remain invisible (e.g., people without immigration status who reside in the United States) from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. Psychology has a history …
Age‐friendly Universities (AFU)
Manifestations of ageism during the recent COVID‐19 pandemic call for ways to combat persistent negative views of older adults and the disparities they fuel, especially in light of the aging of populations. We discuss the pioneering Age‐Friendly University (AFU) initiative that takes a systems‐level approach and offers guiding principles for advancing age inclusivity, which in turn can combat and inoculate individuals against ageism. In particula…
A Qualitative Approach to Informing Mental Health Programming in Central African Republic
The Central African Republic (CAR) is a country with a long history of violent conflict, extreme poverty, and little to no mental health infrastructure for a population with profound exposure to ongoing trauma. In 2015, 70% of the population was displaced internally or to surrounding countries, and 80% had witnessed violence. An empirical study of mental health in CAR found that 50% to 80% of the population reported clinically significant anxiety…
A culturally specific mental health and spirituality approach for African Americans facing the Covid-19 pandemic
A series of 15-min videos were produced to provide resources to pastors in African-American communities to aid them in conveying accurate public and mental health information about COVID-19. Video presenters included trusted experts in public and mental health and pastors with considerable experience responding to the needs of the African-American community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four culturally specific core themes to consider when provid…
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions on community-dwelling caregivers and persons with dementia
Restrictions related to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pose unique and significant challenges for community-dwelling caregivers and people with dementia, including disrupted routines, a lack of structure, decreased access to respite care, and new or worsening safety issues related to interpersonal violence and hygiene. In addition to identifying issues confronting caregivers, the authors also describe possible ways to address some of these…
Should I've stayed or should I've gone? What residents of continuing care retirement communities and former candidates think and feel one year after their decision
The aim of this study was to compare satisfaction with residence, wellbeing and physical health of continuing care retirement community (CCRC) residents with people who considered enrolling in the same CCRCs but elected not to move. A total of 101 participants were recruited from 13 CCRCs located in multiple cities in the United States of America. A phone interview was conducted with participants three months or less from enrolment and one year l…
Psychological First Aid
Surges in demand for professional mental health services occasioned by disasters represent a major public health challenge. To build response capacity, numerous psychological first aid (PFA) training models for professional and lay audiences have been developed that, although often concurring on broad intervention aims, have not systematically addressed pedagogical elements necessary for optimal learning or teaching. We describe a competency-base…
Crisis Intervention
This chapter presents a summary of the historical highlights and the theoretical influences on the development of modern crisis intervention theory that provide the groundwork for our current understanding of crisis intervention. More recent, advanced interventions, such as solution-focused therapy, cognitive therapy, and psychological first aid, are also discussed. A conceptual overview and framework for identifying, assessing, and treating indi…
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Use of Psychiatric and Alcohol Related Services
Charon’s Obols? A case study in the role of coins in Roman Burial Ritual
Intergroup flexibility and people's views of African Americans
Students' of Color and European American Students' Stigma‐Relevant Perceptions of University Instructors
In classrooms students of color may experience stigma (i.e., concern about being stereotyped) because negative stereotypes of their intellect are salient. Two studies included African American, European American, and Latina/Latino female and male undergraduates. Study 1 (n= 86) demonstrated while students of color generally had positive expectations of teachers, their expectations declined when imagining class with a European American instructor …
Ingroup romantic preferences among Jewish and non-Jewish White undergraduates
Political Contacts
Over the last 50 years, many theories of prejudice reduction in social psychology have embraced the premise that intergroup contact allows people to recognize similarities between themselves, and that this perceived similarity overwhelms the social distance associated with intergroup antipathy. Given the mixed empirical evidence, however, we suggest that the positive effects of perceived similarity have been overemphasized. Although similarity ma…
Sexually aggressive men's perceptions of women's communications
The authors tested three explanations of findings that sexually aggressive men perceive women's communications differently than less aggressive men. The first suggests that aggressors are incompetent in decoding women's negative emotions. The second posits that they fail to make subtle distinctions between women's friendliness and seductiveness and between assertiveness and hostility. The third explanation contends that sexual aggressors use a su…
