  • Late adolescents' accounts of marginalization in India: Towards a ground‐up intersectional framework

    Open Access•Ritika Rastogi, Jasjeet Sachdeva et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2026

    Within the broader context of limited published literature on identity‐based marginalization in Majority World communities, research on adolescent experiences of marginalization in a diverse country like India is particularly scarce. The purpose of this study was to explore college‐going adolescents' perceptions of commonly marginalized/stigmatized identities, the nature of marginalization, and the contexts within which it occurs using qualitativ…

  • Exploring Trajectories of Youth Suicide and Prevention Strategies Within Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India

    Open Access•V Raval, Bency Joy et al.•ARTICLE•Culture & Psychology•2026

    Suicide is a major public health challenge globally, and although universal public health frameworks exist, suicide prevention efforts need to be tailored for specific cultural communities. Andaman and Nicobar Islands, one of the union territories of India with particularly high rates of suicide-related deaths, provide a unique socio-historic, economic, political, and healthcare context to understand suicidality. In this qualitative study, we exp…

    For decades, research has examined etiology and presentation of depressive symptoms among adolescents, with the bulk of this work based on samples from North America and Europe. Little is known about the explanatory models and clinical presentations of depression around the world. Focusing on India, a country with the world’s largest adolescent population, our aim was to explore explanatory models and phenomenology of depressive symptoms during a…

    Despite being the second largest Asian immigrant group in the United States, South Asian Americans are highly underrepresented in the psychological literature. Considered a ‘model minority’, South Asian Americans are a target of discrimination based on their Brown identity and religious affiliations, making it critical to examine their experiences. Extending the integrated conceptual framework to research pertaining to South Asian Americans publi…

  • Towards a decolonial developmental science: Adolescent development in the Majority World taking center stage

    Open Access•A Abubakar, Angelo Brandelli Costa et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 32

    While aspiring to be a diverse and global science, developmental science continues to be dominated by EuroAmerican epistemologies, researchers, and communities in its published scholarship. Adolescents in communities across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America comprise 85% of the world's adolescent population, and yet their experiences and perspectives are marginalized in our science. Adolescents in the Majority World live in highly d…

  • Challenging the dichotomy: Examining parent socialization goals and behaviors regarding positive affect in Bengaluru, India

    Open Access•Samantha B Wick, Anuradha Sathiyaseelan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    Parents' responses to youth positive affect (PA) have been dichotomized as enhancing and dampening. This dichotomy may not fit with cultural scripts about emotion in communities where a balance between positive and negative emotions is preferred. To assess parents' PA socialization in a culturally relevant manner for urban, middle-class families in India, we developed a new measure of parental goals about happiness and adapted the Responses to Ad…

    Open Access•Baiju Gopal, Deborah Yazhini Charles et al.•ARTICLE•Culture & Psychology•2024•References: 39

    The client therapy experience has been the focus of many bodies of literature in psychotherapy, even across cultures. While researchers have emphasized on the use of indigenous approaches in Indian psychotherapy, how much of this is applicable in the present scenario? The experience has become increasingly tricky to understand given the complexities arising from the influence of urbanization and westernization. Thus, the present study aimed to ex…

  • Parental beliefs about positive affect and parental depressive symptoms predicting parents' positive emotion socialisation in India

    Open Access•McKenna Freeman, Anuradha Sathiyaseelan et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Psychology•2022

    Emerging literature examines implications of parental socialisation of positive affect (PA) for children's socio‐emotional functioning, though little is known about predictors of parental PA socialisation behaviours in diverse families around the world. Based on the literature that suggests that parental cognitions (Okagaki & Bingham, 2005) and their own mood state contribute to their parenting (Dix & Meunier, 2009), we examined two parent‐relate…

  • A longitudinal examination of the relation between academic stress and anxiety symptoms among adolescents in India: The role of physiological hyperarousal and social acceptance

    Open Access•Mackenzie Trevethan, Anjali Jain et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Psychology•2022

    Academic stress is a critical aspect of adolescent experience around the world, but particularly in countries with dense populations that lead to highly competitive college admissions. With a population of over one billion people, the competition for higher education in India is significantly high. Although research has shown that academic pressures are associated with anxiety in adolescents, this work is primarily cross‐sectional. The current st…

    Kathy L Lin, V Raval et al.•ARTICLE•Marriage & Family Review•2022•References: 41

    Parent-child boundary dissolution (PBD) has been found to negatively impact offspring well-being in Western cultures, although cross-cultural findings have been mixed. Given that Western measures of PBD may have a different meaning for different cultures, we examined emerging adults’ reports of maternal PBD (psychological control, infantilization, enmeshment, role reversal), their affective appraisal, and functioning in the United States (n = 119…

    Popular conceptions of Hindu Indian womanhood suggest that these women are best conceptualized within a network of social roles. These conceptions, for the large part, are based on ideological descriptions or normative patterns, depict Indian women as a homogeneous group, and are relatively static. Conceptualized within the framework of existential philosophy, in this article we explore an urban middle-class Hindu woman's conceptions of herself a…

    Open Access•Ellen F Jackson, V Raval et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2016•Cited by: 2•References: 23

    Parent–child boundary dissolution, the loss of psychological distinctiveness between parents and their children, has been linked with maladaptive child functioning in White middle-class groups in Western cultures, though cross-cultural findings are mixed. To further explore this variation, we used mixed methods to compare college students’ reports of frequency and subjective experience of parent beliefs and behaviors indicative of various types o…

    Open Access•V Raval, Aaron M Luebbe et al.•ARTICLE•Social Development•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    An emerging body of research shows that parental socialization of positive affect (PA) is implicated in youth functioning, although most evidence comes from Western countries. In this study, focusing on adolescent girls in India, we examined associations among reports of parents’ responses to adolescent PA, adolescent PA regulation, and adolescent depression. A total of 238 adolescent girls (13–18 years) and one of their parents (54% mothers) wer…

  • Body Image and Acceptance of Plastic Surgery Among College Students in South Korea: Testing the Mediating Role of Fear of Negative Evaluation and Moderating Role of Filial Piety

    Kathy L Lin, V Raval et al.•ARTICLE•International Perspectives in…•2021

    Studied more extensively in Western societies, body image in other cultures is less researched. South Korea provides a unique context to examine body image given its flourishing plastic surgery industry, which is indicative of negative body image and plastic surgery acceptance. The current study examined whether relevant sociocultural factors in South Korea (i.e., fear of negative evaluation [FNE] and filial piety [FP]) play a role in the associa…

  • Parental beliefs about positive affect and parental depressive symptoms predicting parents' positive emotion socialisation in India

    Open Access•McKenna Freeman, Anuradha Sathiyaseelan et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Psychology•2022

    Emerging literature examines implications of parental socialisation of positive affect (PA) for children's socio‐emotional functioning, though little is known about predictors of parental PA socialisation behaviours in diverse families around the world. Based on the literature that suggests that parental cognitions (Okagaki & Bingham, 2005) and their own mood state contribute to their parenting (Dix & Meunier, 2009), we examined two parent‐relate…

  • A longitudinal examination of the relation between academic stress and anxiety symptoms among adolescents in India: The role of physiological hyperarousal and social acceptance

    Open Access•Mackenzie Trevethan, Anjali Jain et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Psychology•2022

    Academic stress is a critical aspect of adolescent experience around the world, but particularly in countries with dense populations that lead to highly competitive college admissions. With a population of over one billion people, the competition for higher education in India is significantly high. Although research has shown that academic pressures are associated with anxiety in adolescents, this work is primarily cross‐sectional. The current st…
