Voices Unveiled
Eighteen Asian American activists were interviewed for this study that challenges the stereotype of Asian Americans as "model minorities" with the counter-narrative of intersectional feminist activism. Grounded theory and consensual qualitative analysis were used to analyze the data, with four themes that emerged: origin story, defining activism, social change experiences, and reflections and insights. Participants described personal and collecti…
Asian American Feminisms
Asian American feminisms in psychology are not an identity or an ideology but an unapologetic praxis, in which theorizing and practice are closely connected and lived out. In this praxis, there is no single feminism but plural feminisms, given the complexities and diversity of the Asian American communities. In this article, we bring attention to Asian American feminisms by highlighting previous work done by Asian American feminists, identifying …
Introduction to Special Issue
The introduction article of the special issue draws from a rich history of Asian American feminist activism, highlights the evolution of this movement across various domains, and emphasizes the role of intersectionality in combating racism, xenophobia, and misogyny. We propose an Asian Feminist Critical Race (AsianFemCrit) framework with activism as its praxis. Asian American feminist activism is a form of resistance and a transformative practice…
Anti-Racist Pedagogy as Activism
The links between experiences of discrimination and mental health consequences have been well established among Asian Americans. Since the pandemic, anti-Asian racism and xenophobia surged, and the negative outcomes can be severe and long-lasting. Asian American mental health professionals can play an important role in addressing the mental health needs in the Asian American community. Feminist psychologists have long criticized the oppressive na…

Covid-19 anti-Asian racism
Anti-Asian racism has spiked since the outbreak of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, creating compounded threats to Asian Americans' psychological wellbeing on top of other pandemic stressors (e.g., fears of infection, financial insecurity, or quarantine isolation). COVID-19 anti-Asian racism signifies the relevance of race and racism during public health crises and highlights the importance of examining the psychological impacts of racia…
Explaining the alcohol immigrant paradox
Native-born Latinx Americans are at greater risk for alcohol use and misuse than their foreign-born peers (i.e., the alcohol immigrant paradox). To understand this phenomenon, we conducted a qualitative study with Mexican American adults in the community to explore their perspectives on reasons that may explain the alcohol immigrant paradox. Community adults from the Southwest United States were recruited to participate in the present focus group…
The Long and Winding Road of Being and Becoming
Through the process of dialogue, collaboration, and sisterhood, we attempted to demonstrate feminist values and principles in leadership and mentorship through the process of writing this article. Discussions between the three authors led to our reflections of our own personal journeys in leadership roles, along with lessons learned. We then connected our lived experiences to relevant feminist leadership concepts and conclude with our thoughts ab…
Perceived stress, psychological functioning, and resilience among individuals in same-sex binational relationships
This study examined data from 183 individuals in same-sex binational relationships in June 2013 before the Supreme Court overturned DOMA. More than half of the participants (61.2%) were U.S. citizens and 33% (n = 60) had a partner living outside the U.S. It was hypothesized that (a) perceived stress

Asian American Women Sexual Assault Survivors’ Choice of Coping Strategies
Even though approximately one in three Asian American (AA) and Pacific Islander women experience sexual assault victimization, there is a dearth of literature examining how AA women sexual assault survivors cope with this traumatic experience. This study examined AA female sexual assault survivors' choice of coping strategies post-assault and how their cognitive responses toward sexual assault victimization (e.g., attributions of self-blame, perc…
The role of cultural beliefs in disordered eating among Asian-American women
Weight, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating
Asian American women experience disordered eating and body dissatisfaction, which puts them at risk for eating disorders and medical complications, as well as depression, anxiety, and related mental health issues. Help-seeking is low, and clinician bias hampers referral for adequate treatment, suggesting need for greater understanding of cultural context. Asian Americans experience many of the same risk factors as do other groups; however, resear…
Surviving the Storm
African American women are at high risk for sexual assault. In addition, many African American women endorse the use of social support and religiosity to cope with trauma. The current study investigates the relationship between these two coping strategies and posttrauma symptoms in a sample of 413 African American female sexual assault survivors using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings indicated that survivors…
Struggling to survive
A substantial body of research documents the mental health consequences of sexual assault including, but not limited to, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use, and suicidality. Far less attention has been given to the mental health effects of sexual assault for ethnic minority women or women living in poverty. Given African American women's increased risk for sexual assault and increased risk for persistent poverty, the current…
Family affection as a protective factor against the negative effects of perceived Asian values gap on the parent-child relationship for Asian American male and female college students
The study examined whether family affection (i.e., affective responsiveness, affectionate communication, and affective orientation) protected against the negative effects of perceived parent-child Asian values gap on the quality of their parent relationships for 259 female and 77 male Asian American college students. Asian values gap was higher for women than men, and inversely related to a perceived healthy parent-child relationship for both gen…
