Who are the Asian Americans? Commentary on the Asian American psychology special issue
For decades, Asian Americans have had to deal with stereotypes, misunderstandings of their status in society, and prejudice and discrimination. Because of their small population in the U.S. and prevailing model minority stereotypes, they have not received the attention or aid necessary for research and policy advocacy to counter the misunderstandings. It is argued that Asian Americans are diverse group on many dimensions but they share experience…
Epilogue for the special issue on sociocultural factors and mechanisms in alcohol use
The research articles in this special issue edited by Zamboanga and Lui focus on sociocultural factors and processes that underlie ethnic disparities in alcohol use in the United States. Major ethnic minority groups such as African Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanics are included. Contributors to this special issue present their research findings and draw implications for research, theory, and intervention. The focus is clearly needed. We k…

The relationship between education and ethnic minority factors in income among Asian Americans
Research indicates greater educational achievements and occupational aspirations of Asian Americans. However, little research has explicated the relationship between educational attainment and actual income among Asian Americans. Factors related to the ethnic minority experience may be related to or may change the positive, linear relationship between education and income found in the general population. The current study examined how education a…
Asian American Mental Health
This chapter reviews and critically examines issues regarding the mental health of Asians in the United States. As a distinct ethnic group in the United States, Asian Americans have experienced value conflicts between their own ethnic culture and that of mainstream Americans, as well as instances of racial prejudice and discrimination. Given these experiences, it is important to examine the mental health status of Asian Americans. Several consist…
Lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in Asian Americans
Few studies have examined the role of culturally relevant factors in suicidal behavior among Asian Americans. Using the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) (Alegria et al., 2004; Heeringa et al., 2004), the current study examined the role of culturally related variables (family conflict, perceived discrimination, and ethnic identity) on suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in a nationally representative sample of 2,095 Asian Americ…
Perceived Discrimination and Health Outcomes
The Case for Cultural Competency in Psychotherapeutic Interventions
Cultural competency practices have been widely adopted in the mental health field because of the disparities in the quality of services delivered to ethnic minority groups. In this review, we examine the meaning of cultural competency, positions that have been taken in favor of and against it, and the guidelines for its practice in the mental health field. Empirical research that tests the benefits of cultural competency is discussed.
The role of culture and cultural techniques in psychotherapy
Asian-American educational achievements
Considerable attention has been paid to the academic achievements of Asian Americans because there is convergent evidence that this population has attained high educational mobility. In trying to explain the achievement patterns, researchers have largely limited their investigations to one of two contrasting hypotheses involving (a) hereditary differences in intelligence between Asians and Whites and (b) Asian cultural values that promote educati…
Ethnic minority psychology
This article focuses on my interpretation of the history of ethnic minority psychology, using as a base the presentations of the contributing authors to this special issue of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology. Because each contributing author has focused on a particular ethnic group or a particular aspect of history, my goal is to focus on 3 common issues and problems. First, what are the themes and issues that confronted African …
Health Care Issues among Asian Americans
Immigration-Related Factors and Mental Disorders Among Asian Americans
Objectives. We examined lifetime and 12-month rates of any depressive, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders in a national sample of Asian Americans. We focused on factors related to nativity and immigration as possible correlates of mental disorders. Methods. Data were derived from the National Latino and Asian American Study, the first national epidemiological survey of Asian Americans in the United States. Results. The relationships between i…
Use of Mental Health–Related Services Among Immigrant and US-Born Asian Americans
Objectives. We examined rates of mental health–related service use (i.e., any, general medical, and specialty mental health services) as well as subjective satisfaction with and perceived helpfulness of care in a national sample of Asian Americans, with a particular focus on immigration-related factors. Methods. Data were derived from the National Latino and Asian American Study (2002–2003). Results. About 8.6% of the total sample (n=2095) sought…
Cultural competency
Cultural competency in the delivery of mental health services has gained considerable momentum. This momentum has been accompanied by questions about the meaning, usefulness, and precision of cultural competency. The author argues that cultural competency is composed of general processes (scientific mindedness, dynamic sizing, and culture‐specific skills), as well as a series of concrete and trainable strategies. The incorporation of these proces…
Beyond ethnic match
This study examined the outcome effects of cognitive match between Asian and White outpatient clients and their therapists. Many clinicians believe that one hindrance to the treatment of ethnic minority clients is that therapists and clients may not share common assumptions and attitudes about therapy and about the problems that are presented in treatment. The study investigated client–therapist similarity in their perceptions of the presenting p…
In the eye of the storm
The difficulties of operationalizing race in research and practice for social, behavioral, and genetic researchers and practitioners are neither new nor related to recent genetic knowledge. For geneticists, the bases for understanding groups are clines, observed traits that gradually change in frequency between geographic regions without distinct identifiable population boundaries and population histories that carry information about the distribu…
Considering context, place and culture
This paper provides a rationale for, and overview of, procedures used to develop the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). The NLAAS is nationally representative community household survey that estimates the prevalence of mental disorders and rates of mental health service utilization by Latinos and Asian Americans in the US. The central aims of the NLAAS are to: 1) describe the lifetime and 12‐month prevalence of psychiatric disorder…
Sex, race/ethnicity, and romantic attractions
This study examined the association between multiple minority statuses and reports of suicidal thoughts, depression, and self-esteem among adolescents. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used to examine mental health outcomes across racial/ethnic groups for same-sex-attracted youths and female youths. Hispanic/Latino, African American, and White female adolescents reported more suicidal thoughts, higher depression…
Culture-Specific Patterns in the Prediction of Life Satisfaction
This study was conducted to explore the culture-specific roles of emotion, relationship quality, and self-esteem in determining life satisfaction. It was hypothesized that maintaining good interpersonal relationships would make individuals in collectivistic cultures not only feel good about their lives but also feel better about themselves. Furthermore, two emotion variables—emotional expression and emotion differentiation—were proposed as possib…
The Mental Health of Ethnic Minority Groups
In Defense of Cultural Competency in Psychotherapy and Treatment
Cultural competency guidelines and policies are being widely established. Yet some critics have challenged the evidence for cultural competency and the lack of efficacy studies that demonstrate its outcomes. Various positions are examined that discuss cultural competency research. They include the need for more resources for research, scientific practices that overlook ethnic research findings, fruitfulness of theory-driven rather than population…

Science, ethnicity, and bias
The quality, quantity, and funding of ethnic minority research have been inadequate. One factor that has contributed to this inadequacy is the practice of scientific psychology. Although principles of psychological science involve internal and external validity, in practice psychology emphasizes internal validity in research studies. Because many psychological principles and measures have not been cross-validated with different populations, those…

Stereotypes as a Measure of Success
Chinese and Japanese stereotypes have undergone dramatic changes. Early stereotypes were uniformly negative, reflecting the social, economic, and political climate in America. Labor union members and gold miners were particularly vehement in their denunciation of Asian Americans because of the perceived threat of job competition. With the passage of numerous discriminatory laws and the entrance of other ethnic minorities, the Chinese and Japanese…
Return rates and outcomes from ethnicity-specific mental health programs in Los Angeles
OBJECTIVES. The present study compared the return rate, length of treatment, and treatment outcome of ethnic minority adults who received services from ethnicity-specific or mainstream programs. METHODS. The sample consisted of 1516 African Americans, 1888 Asian Americans, and 1306 Mexican Americans who used 1 of 36 predominantly White (mainstream) or 18 ethnicity-specific mental health centers in Los Angeles County over a 6-year period. Predicto…

The responsiveness and equality of mental health care to Chicanos and Native Americans
An examination was made of the services received by Chicano and Native American clients in 17 community mental health facilities. Although these minority clients differed from Anglos in demographic variables, there was no evidence that they were rendered inferior or discriminatory services. However, failure to return for therapy was much higher among minority clients. Possible reasons for this failure to return are discussed. It is suggested that…

The Current State of Mental Health Research on Asian Americans
A review of research reveals that the prevalence rates of depression, somatization, and posttraumatic stress disorder among Asian Americans are at least as high as those for White Americans, and, in many cases, higher rates are exhibited. Findings with respect to anxiety have been equivocal. The conclusion that is best supported by research at this time is that Asian Americans are not extraordinarily well adjusted, in contrast to their stereotype…

Ethnicity and Mental Health
The relationship between social science research and public policy/program advocacy has been controversial. One position is that policy advocacy should be preceded and guided by research findings that clearly provide a rationale for the advocacy. Another position is that promotion of policies may be wise even in the absence of a strong research justification, because research findings are often inconclusive and the urgency of many social issues d…

Toward a culturally anchored ecological framework of research in ethnic‐cultural communities
Proposed a research framework (the “cube” model) in which community psychologists working in ethnic‐cultural communities can make appropriate decisions on conceptual and methodological issues from a culturally anchored, ecological‐contextualist perspective. The intent of the model is to articulate ethnic‐cultural heterogeneity in community research by elucidating three metamethodological issues: (a) definition of an ethnic‐cultural community, (b)…

Biasing effects of pretrial publicity on judicial decisions
Personality and Mental Health
When I was first invited ta read and respond to Jerry Surh's paper concerning the Sues-Tong controversy, my initial reaction was negative. Several of my ideas have changed since the publication of our original paper' in 1971, and I felt that we would have to defend some old ideas (that I still hold) and to reformulate some of my views (which would entail a lengthy paper). Then too, after our heated exchange with Ben Tong, I had become dissatisfie…

Authoritarianism, Pretrial Publicity, and Awareness of Bias in Simulated Jurors
In a simulated jury experiment, 158 university students were asked to render certain decisions as jurors in a criminal case. Subjects were exposed to damaging (to the defendant) pretrial publicity or to neutral pretrial publicity. Subjects were asked if they could remain impartial and also completed the F-scale questionnaire. Results indicated that even when subjects claim they are unbiased by pretrial publicity, their decisions as simulated juro…

Conceptions of Mental Illness among Asian and Caucasian-American Students
The attitudes and beliefs of 62 Asian American and 81 Caucasian college students toward mental illness were examined. After controlling for demographic and background variables between students, a number of significant ethnic differences emerged. These results were interpreted in the context of Asian subcultural values and implications for psychotherapeutic practice were drawn
Effects of a defendant's previous psychiatric hospitalization on the judgments of simulated jurors
Simulated jurors were asked to render judgements in a case involving either a violent or a nonviolent armed robbery. The defendent either did or did not have a stated history or previous psychiatric hospitalization. The former mental patient received fewer guilty verdicts than did the nonhospitalized defendant in the nonviolent robbery condition, while no difference existed in the violent robbery condition. It was predicted that, relative to the …

Alcohol Drinking Patterns among Asian and Caucasian Americans
Previous studies have attributed low rates of alcoholism and alcohol consumption among Chinese and Japanese to genetic or to cultural factors. The present study examined the responses of 47 Asian and 77 Causasian American students who completed questionnaires concerning their drinking patterns, their own and their parents' attitudes toward drinking, and the cues they used to control alcohol consumption. Asian students were also administered assim…
The training of ethnic minority clinical-community psychologists
A special clinical-community psychology program for Asian-Americans is described. Four separate papers discuss the background of the training center and the philosophical and practical rationales as well as products of the training program. This discussion of the training program is designed to provide some insight into the issue of training clinical-community psychology students interested in working with multi-ethnic populations.
Programmatic issues in the training of Asian-American psychologists
The National Asian American Psychology Training Center (1) intensively trains interns to assume roles as scientist-practitioners; (2) allows interns to develop special expertise with multi-ethnic, particularly Asian-American, populations; (3) exposes interns to a wide range of settings (e.g., inpatient, outpatient, emergency services, day treatment with adult, children, and families) and activities (e.g., assessment, therapy and intervention, res…
