Acculturation and loneliness among North Korean refugee mothers residing in South Korea
Bicultural identity and dropout risk among biethnic adolescents in Korea: A latent profile analysis
Societal and community factors facilitating cultural adaptation and mental health of North Korean refugee women in South Korea
North Korean (NK) refugee women face unique challenges in their acculturation process in South Korea (SK), often leading to higher rates of depression among them. This study uses the Multidimensional Individual Difference Acculturation (MIDA) model to examine the role of societal and local community factors in facilitating cultural adaptation and influencing mental health issues, such as depression, among NK refugee women. The study focuses on th…
Trauma Exposure, Social Networks, and Suicide Risk Among North Korean Refugee Women in South Korea
Exposure to adverse life events renders North Korean (NK) refugee women vulnerable to mental health problems, suicide risk being one of the most concerning. We examined bonding and bridging social networks as potential moderators of suicide risk among NK refugee women ( N = 212). We found that exposure to traumatic events significantly increased suicidal behavior, but its impact was alleviated if they had a stronger bonding social network. The fi…
Polyvictimization and Psychological Outcomes Among North Korean Refugee Women
Korean refugee women are at risk of multiple violent victimizations throughout the migration phases. However, migration's association with mental health outcomes has received little scholarly attention. This study examined North Korean refugee women's exposure to polyvictimization—exposure to both gender-based violence (GBV) and intimate partner violence (IPV)—and explored whether polyvictimization is associated with an increased risk of psycholo…
Prevalence, demographic variation and psychological correlates of exposure to police victimisation in four US cities
Aims Victimisation by the police is purported to be widespread in cities in the USA, but there is limited data on police–public encounters from community samples. This is partly due to an absence of measures for assessing police violence exposure from the standpoint of civilians. As such, the demographic distribution and mental health correlates of police victimisation are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to present community-based …
Elevated Prevalence of Suicide Attempts among Victims of Police Violence in the USA
Mental Health Conditions Among North Korean Female Refugee Victims of Sexual Violence
The study aims to examine the negative effects of sexual violence on North Korean ( NK ) female refugees in South Korea. Although the prevalence of sexual violence victimization is extremely high and mental health problems are serious among these refugees, little to no research has been done on the relationship between sexual violence and mental health among these women. The mental health conditions of two groups of women (sexual violence victims…
