Vicarious Racial Discrimination and Sleep Health Among Latina/o/x/Hispanic First-Year College Students
Peer discrimination and diurnal cortisol output in a rural boarding school in China
Adolescents' experiences of discrimination and their health consequences are understudied in non-Western cultures. Using data from 90 rural Chinese adolescents ( M age = 13.70; 49% female), this study examined cumulative and daily experiences of peer discrimination (based on socioeconomic status, gender, parental migration status, appearance, grades) and their associations with diurnal cortisol output. Data highlighted a high prevalence of peer d…
Everyday ethnic discrimination and early substance use based on hair samples in high-risk racial/ethnic minority early adolescents
Experiencing ethnic discrimination from teachers, and possibly other adults outside of school, is a significant risk factor for early substance use. Interventions should address teacher- and adult-perpetrated discrimination to reduce the risk of early substance use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Daily ethnic-racial support from family and peers
Limited research has investigated the changes in ethnic-racial support that adolescents received during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study collected 2-week, daily data from 185 Midwest U.S. ethnic-racial minority adolescents (14.60 years old; 52% female) at two waves, spanning about 1 year apart. For the Pandemic Cohort (936 days of data, 41 participants; 2019–2020), peer cultural socialization declined significantly from before to during the pand…
Daily social support and school belonging among rural Chinese adolescents
Left-behind" children refer to those who live in rural areas but have parents migrating to urban areas for work. They are at increased risk for developmental problems and family dysfunction. However, we currently know little regarding their support systems at school. Using daily data over five school days from 90 adolescents (M age = 13.70) in rural China, this study investigated daily associations linking teacher and peer support to school belon…
Associations Between Multiple Dimensions of Sleep and Mood During Early Adolescence
Daily associations between adolescents’ executive function and school engagement
Executive function (EF) has rarely been considered for adolescents' daily school outcomes or in conjunction with ethnic/racial discrimination. Using 2-week, daily data from 137 ethnic/racial minority adolescents ( M age = 14.56; 53% female; 56% Black, 19% Latinx, 7% Asian, 7% Native, 12% other [e.g., multiracial]) in the Midwest United States, this study examined same-day, within-person associations between EF and school engagement (controlling f…
Family and peer ethnic-racial socialization in adolescents' everyday life
There is limited research on ethnic-racial socialization outside the family context (e.g., in peer groups). Using two-week, daily data from 177 U.S. ethnic-racial minority 9th graders in 2017–2020 (M age = 14.48 years old; 51% females; 52% Black, 20% Latinx, 10% Asian American, 6% Native American, and 12% Other), this study tested a transactional model of family and peer ethnic-racial socialization, identity, and discrimination. Bidirectional ass…
