Blame and Digital Hostility Among Displaced Ukrainians
This study examined the psychological impact of the 2022 Russian invasion on Ukrainian migrants in the United States. Using data from 703 participants, we examined whether U.S.-based Ukrainians blamed Russian citizens for the invasion, how their perceptions of Russians changed, and whether they experienced digital hostility for leaving Ukraine. A structural equation model tested the associations between these factors on cultural and family-econom…
Polysubstance Use Trajectories and Social-Ecological Predictors in a Multi-Ethnic Sample of Adolescents
Background Substance use—including the use and co-use of alcohol, cigarettes, and illicit drugs—often emerges in adolescence. However, the longitudinal structure of polysubstance use and its social-ecological predictors are less understood. We examined (a) higher-order trajectories of polysubstance use (encompassing alcohol, cigarette, and illicit drug use) and (b) their associations with individual- and family-level factors.Methods Participants …
Familial Experiences of Crisis Exposure and Cultural Stress With Depressive Symptoms Among Venezuelan Parent‐Adolescent Dyads in the United States
Studies suggest that Venezuelan migrant families in the United States face both pre‐migration crisis exposures and post‐migration cultural stressors, both of which may influence their depressive symptoms. However, few studies have examined how familial pre‐ and post‐migration stressors additively and interactively predict depressive symptoms among Venezuelan parents and adolescents. We examined whether (a) pre‐ and post‐migration stressors can be…
Optimism predicts future economic mobility among hurricane maria migrants
In the United States, the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters continue to rise, leading to increased displacement of individuals and families. Those forcibly displaced often face heightened uncertainty, vulnerability to mental and cultural stressors, and economic insecurity. Economic mobility during and after resettlement may, to some extent, be a function of migrant adaptation, mental health, and psychological functioning. Howeve…
How do pre-migration crisis exposures and post-migration cultural stressors shape mental health symptoms among Venezuelan youth in the United States and Colombia
Pathways from cultural and economic stressors to mental and behavioral health risks in Hispanic youth
1.29; 73% female). We modeled cultural stress as a latent construct composed of discrimination, negative context of reception, bicultural stress, within-group discrimination, and immigration-related stress. Economic stressor was marginally and directly associated with past-month cannabis use and tobacco use and was significantly indirectly linked with depressive symptoms through perceived stress. Cultural stressors, alongside economic stress, pre…
The status‐related stress scale (SRSS)
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure stress associated with maintaining temporary nonimmigrant study or employment status (e.g., F‐1, J‐1, or H‐1B status) among Asian adults in the United States. Items were developed following a combination of both deductive and inductive reasoning and refined through a systematic item generation process involving target population members and expert panels. We recruited a sample o…
Navigating Cultural Stress and Mental Health
INTRODUCTION: Cultural stressors during migration can shape family dynamics and impact mental health outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between cultural stress, parent-adolescent communication, and psychological well-being among Former Soviet Union (FSU) immigrant families in Israel. METHODS: This longitudinal survey study collected data at three time points. The first wave of data collection occurred between June and August 2020,…
Optimism and language proficiency predict incidence of and remission from PTSD among climate migrants
We observed a rapid initial remission from positive PTSD screen for a substantial portion of the sample. Participants who are proficient in English language may be most likely to screen positive for PTSD over time and least likely to remit from a positive PTSD screen. Findings underscore the importance of optimism and higher English proficiency for both decreased incidence of and increased remission from PTSD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 A…
Anticipatory grief and perseverative worry
Ukrainian migrants face a complex spectrum of trauma and emotional distress, influenced by their ongoing connection to a conflict zone and by constant worry for their families' safety. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
