  • Family dynamics moderate the impact of discrimination on wellbeing for Latino young adults

    Vanja Lazarevic, Flavia Crovetto et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2020Cited by: 2

    Family dynamics moderated the association between discrimination and both depression and life satisfaction in Latino youth. However, family dynamics did not appear sufficient to buffer against the negative impact of discrimination, suggesting that even positive and cohesive families cannot buffer youth from discrimination. Marginal findings suggest that negative family dynamics compound the negative impact of discrimination. Implications for impr…

Expectant parents (N = 181…

  • Who are the fathers in healthy families Arizona? An examination of father data in at‐risk families

    Alyson F Shapiro, Judy Krysik et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2011References: 37

This research aims to provide information that will aid interventions in targeting fathers and addressing father-related family issues through: (a) providing descriptive information regarding fa…

Using Facial Action Coding System (FACS), infant smiles were coded as simple (lip corner retraction only), Duchenne (simple plus cheek raising), play (simple plus jaw drop), and duplay (Duchenne plus jaw drop). In addition, again using FA…
