The Two Faces of Fear: A History of Hard-Hitting Public Health Campaigns Against Tobacco and Aids
Fear is now commonly used in public health campaigns, yet for years ethical and efficacy-centered concerns provided a challenge to using fear in such efforts.

Racism is a significant psychosocial stressor that is hypothesized to have negative psychological and physical health consequences. The Reserve Capacity Model (Gallo & Matthews, 2003) suggests that low socioeconomic status may influence health through its effects on negative affect. We extend this model to study the effects of racism, examining the association of lifetime perceived racism to trait and daily negative affect. A multiethnic sample o…

The Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire: Development and Preliminary Validation of a Community Version1

The first study evaluated the psychometric properties of the PEDQ-CV in a large …
