English Proficiency and Gender-Ethnic Variation in Mental Health Among U.S. Asians
Despite much research documenting the health patterning of U.S. Asians compared to other ethnoracial groups, fewer studies have interrogated social factors contributing to heterogeneity in mental health among U.S. Asians. The present study draws insights from the fundamental cause perspective and intersectionality to examine, first, the association between English proficiency and mental health among U.S. Asian adults, and second, the degree to wh…
Heterogeneity in adverse childhood experiences and heart disease among U.S. Black Women and Men
ACE heterogeneity factors into heart disease patterns for Black men and women with important implications for intersectional screening, intervention, and the advancement of health equity
Race, Racism, and Mental Health
Informed by insights from the stress process model and critical race theory, this entry offers a concise synthesis of sociological inquiry into associations between race/ethnicity and mental health. As a racialized social system and fundamental determinant of health, racism shapes ethnoracial variation in mental health via inequitable stress exposure, access to resources, and institutional responses. Research generally identifies more similaritie…
Self-Reported Unfair Police Stops and Skin Tone, Ethnic Origin, and Citizenship Status among Latino Adults
While a growing literature has documented vast ethnoracial inequalities tied to the occurrence and outcomes of police contact, less research has examined the patterning of perceived unfair police stops among Latino populations. The present study relies on insights from tri-racial stratification theory to examine associations between perceived unfair police stops and skin tone, ethnic origin, and citizenship status among Latino adults. Data come f…
Psychiatric Disorders among African Americans and the Intersection of Personal and Familial Incarceration
Ethnoracial variation in school victimization and adolescent substance use
Formal Social Control and Mental Health
The present study uses elements of the social stress and intersectionality theories to examine associations between forms of criminal justice contact and mental health among African American and Afro-Caribbean women. While mass incarceration disproportionately targets, detains, and affects Black populations, the experiences and consequences of criminal justice contact for Black women remain understudied. Utilizing the National Survey of American …
Lethal Police Encounters and Cardiovascular Health among Black Americans
Local Confederate Memorialization and Gender-Ethnic Variation in Mental Health among Black Residents
Memorials romanticizing the short-lived Confederate States of America remain scattered across public spaces. Yet, little research examines whether memorials are consequential for residents that live proximate to them. This study relies on insights from social stress theory to examine associations between the local presence of public Confederate memorials and the mental health of African American and Afro-Caribbean adults. Data for this study are …
Romantic Relationships, Parenthood, and the Personal Sense of Mastery
Solidifying a strong personal sense of mastery or control over life is a key developmental task in young adulthood. We investigate the extent to which intimate relationship status (i.e., marriage, cohabitation, monogamous dating, and singlehood) and parenthood simultaneously shape mastery for a longitudinal sample of 18- to 34-year-olds. We further investigate whether age qualifies the effects of relationship-parenthood status on the sense of mas…
Police Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms in African American Women
Introduction: There are significant and pervasive disparities in police violence and discrimination toward African Americans/Blacks. It is possible that these disparities may lead to heightened vulnerability for poor mental health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the associations between experiences of police discrimination and depressive symptoms in a community-based sample of African American/Black women. Methods: We perform…
Former Incarceration, Time Served, and Perceived Oral Health among African American Women and Men
A large body of research has documented the far-reaching health consequences of mass incarceration in the United States. Yet, less scholarship has examined the relationship between former incarceration and oral health, a key reflection of health and disease occurring within the rest of the body. Using data extracted from the National Survey of American Life (n = 3343), this study examines associations among former incarceration status, duration o…
How do you react to seeing the confederate flag? Examining public reactions by race-ethnicity and region
This study uses insights from the white racial frame perspective to examine associations among race-ethnicity, region, and reactions to viewing the Confederate flag using public opinion data from 2011 and 2015. Data come from pooled nationally representative cross-sectional surveys collected by the Pew Research Center (n = 3,092). Results from adjusted multinomial logit models showed that U.S. adults were on average more likely to react positivel…
A longitudinal study of justice characteristics among girls participating in a sex trafficking court program
Familial Incarceration, Social Role Combinations, and Mental Health Among African American Women
Objective The current study uses insights from the stress process model and role theory to examine the relationship between familial incarceration, three key social roles—spouse, parent, and employee—and African American women's mental health. Background Research documents the spillover effects of mass incarceration on the families of those incarcerated. Approximately half of black women have at least one family member currently incarcerated; yet…
The Role of Perceived Racial Discrimination in the Marriage Gap Between Black and White People
Many explanations offered for the gap in marriage rates between Black and White people are economic and cultural. Less often considered are how racial social psychological factors influence marriage rates. In this study, we use critical race theory and the life course perspective to investigate how perceived racial discrimination impacts the likelihood of marriage for Black and White people. Data for the study are taken from the Portraits of Amer…
Culture and the Confederate flag
The Confederate flag remains a controversial symbol. This article reviews research on attitudes toward the Confederate flag and its public display. In order to better understand the divisiveness of the flag, I outline a historical timeline of the U.S. South and the Confederate flag while emphasizing the association between race and politics within the region. Culture is crucial to this paper because the flag is rooted in cultural constructions of…
