Psychological adjustment following a loss involves grief-related proceses that may be common across cultures and culturally shaped.

In this cross-national study, we investigated similarities and differences in the relations among psychological distress, salient grief-related variables (i.e., int…
AI and Technology in Grief Support: Clinical Implications and Ethical Considerations
Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and technology into grief support presents promising opportunities and notable ethical challenges. In this article, we explore the evolving landscape of AI and technology applications in supporting grieving individuals. Specifically, we discuss how grieving individuals have already begun to develop grief-support innovations (e.g., grief chatbots) that align with established theories such as the continuin…
Covid-19 Racism, Internalized Racism, and Psychological Outcomes Among East Asians/East Asian Americans
The present study investigated the psychological effects of racism on East Asians and East Asian Americans (EAEAAs) living in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic using a mixed-methods approach. First, using an autoregressive cross-lagged panel analysis, we investigated the relations between COVID-19 racism, internalized racism, psychological distress, and social isolation among EAEAAs.

We conducted response surface analyses ( N = 178 PhD students; across 16 counseling psychology programs) to examine whether the degree of congruence and discrepancy in social justice attitudes and perce…
Assessing Knowledge and Predicting Grief Counseling Skills Among University Counseling Center Therapists
This mixed-method study advances knowledge regarding the practice of grief counseling in a sample of 171 university counseling center therapists.

Second, grounded in t…
The development and validation of the Meaning Making in Grief Scale

The research entailed three steps: scale development, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. The current 21-item scale was composed of three subscales: Meaning of the Significant Other, Being Present, and Coping an…
