Social context and the shifting nature of judgment worry
Introduction: Judgment worry is the proximal appraisal of whether a social evaluation has occurred. Although judgment worry is context-sensitive, there is gap in research examining how momentary shifts in daily experiences are associated with variations in judgment worry. Methods: This study examined whether judgment worry functions as a dynamic state with moment-to-moment variations influenced by social context. These processes were tested among…
Rumination, Depressive Symptoms, and Anxiety Among Latinx College Students
Familism, a core cultural value among Mexican Americans, often serves to protect Latinx individuals from negative mental health outcomes as compared to their non-Latinx peers. Yet, its moderating effect on passive coping strategies, particularly rumination, has been called into question. This study explores how familism, alongside another key cultural value, respect, may provide a more nuanced understanding of how collectivist cultural values wor…

Self-construal and well-being in Latinx emerging adults
The State of North Dakota Individuals and Families, 2024
Social environment and moment-to-moment variation in self-construal among Latinx emerging adults
Self-construal involves how one thinks of themselves in relations to others, including how much one thinks of themselves as separate from others (independent) or connected (interdependent). Researchers have typically assumed these self-perceptions are stable. However, given self-construal’s basis in the perceptions of others and the self, it is highly likely that self-construal can vary in different social environments. Thus, the goals of the pre…
Familism values and psychological adjustment of Latinx adolescents in an emerging immigrant community
This study examined the relations between normative developmental changes of familism values and later internalizing and externalizing behaviors in Latinx adolescents from an emerging immigrant community. The sample included 547 Latinx adolescents (55.4% female; baseline M age = 12.80; SD = 1.03) residing in the Southeastern United States. Results from latent growth models indicated that higher initial levels of familism values (intercept) and sl…
Parental Warmth and Developmental Change in Familism Values
This study examined the developmental changes of familism values across adolescence among Latinx adolescents from an emerging immigrant community, and how changes in parental warmth were associated with changes in familism values. The sample included 547 Latinx adolescents. Multilevel model results indicated that familism values showed a linear decline from 6th to 10th grade. Between-person analyses showed that parental warmth was related to the …
Parent–Child Conflict Profiles in Chinese American Immigrant Families
Research suggests that parent–child conflict is a salient family process in Asian immigrant families and often a stressful experience for Asian American youth due to value discrepancies between Asian and Western cultures. The present study examined ratings of parent–child conflict across conflict topics from parents' and children's perspectives in a sample of Chinese American immigrant families with school‐age children ( N = 239; age = 7.5–11 yea…
U.S. Mexican‐Origin Adolescents’ Well‐Being in the Context of Neighborhood White Concentration
To address injustices that privilege whiter neighborhoods, many advocate for residential integration. The developmental consequences of greater exposure to whiteness associated with integration, however, are unclear. Research examining BIPOC adolescent development within the context of intraindividual changes in neighborhood white concentration-the changes that take place if an adolescent moves to a whiter neighborhood or if their neighborhood be…
Horizontal Collectivism Moderates the Relationship Between in-the-Moment Social Connections and Well-Being Among Latino/a College Students
Sleep problems and poorer well-being may be particularly salient for Latino/a college students as they tend to experience sociocultural adjustments during this transitory time. Social connections, a correlate of health, change moment-to-moment for college students and may be experienced differently for people who more strongly endorse horizontal collectivist cultural values. We used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine how in-the-mome…
Relational Goes Beyond Interpersonal
It is clear a relational approach to the study of empathy is gaining traction across multiple disciplines. Both commentaries on “A Relational Framework for Integrating the Study of Empathy in Children and Adults” underscored the need to expand the relational framework of empathy to incorporate the broader social and cultural context in which children and adults live. In the present reply we outline some specific ways that culture can inform the s…
Intrusive parenting in Chinese American immigrant families
This multi-method study examined associations between observed and parent- and child-reported intrusive parenting, parent and child cultural orientations, and children's adjustment in a socioeconomically diverse sample of Chinese American immigrant families. Participants were 239 Chinese American school-aged children ( M age = 9.19 years, range = 7.49 to 10.96 years) and their parents from first- and second-generation immigrant families. Parents …
