Understanding how internalized HIV stigma affects messaging about adherence to antiretroviral treatment in women living with HIV in the southern United States
Women living with HIV (WLWH) in the Southern United States face barriers to sustained adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). 114 Southern WLWH were surveyed to assess perceptions about medication adherence and marketing techniques used to create potential intervention messaging. A cluster analysis using a modified Internalized HIV-related Stigma Scale was conducted, followed by perceptual mapping and vector message modeling to create 3D repre…

How and why to follow best practices for testing mediation models with missing data
Mediation models are often conducted in psychology to understand mechanisms and processes of change. However, current best practices for handling missing data in mediation models are not always used by researchers. Missing data methods, such as full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and multiple imputation (MI), are best practice methods of handling missing data. However, FIML or MI are rarely used to handle missing data when testing mediatio…
Moving Toward a More Comprehensive Standard for Sex Education
While sex education has been linked to adolescent health, few studies have examined how comprehensiveness of school-based sex education may promote young adult sexual wellbeing. The current study used latent class analysis to examine patterns in the comprehensiveness of topics included in sex education among a national sample of young adults ( N = 676). Many participants had not received sex education (40%) or had received sex education that was …
Power to Detect What? Considerations for Planning and Evaluating Sample Size
ACADEMIC ABSTRACT: In the wake of the replication crisis, social and personality psychologists have increased attention to power analysis and the adequacy of sample sizes. In this article, we analyze current controversies in this area, including choosing effect sizes, why and whether power analyses should be conducted on already-collected data, how to mitigate the negative effects of sample size criteria on specific kinds of research, and which p…
Barriers and facilitators to engagement in care and medication adherence for women living with HIV in the Southern United States
Women living in the South have the second highest rate of HIV and the lowest rate of viral suppression among women in all regions in the United States (U.S.). Viral suppression is achieved by successfully linking women to HIV care and supporting adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). We aimed to qualitatively explore perceived barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement and ART adherence among women living with HIV in the South. Particip…
Social Location and Decision-Making Among Women Living with HIV in the Southern United States
HIV care engagement and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence interventions aimed at decreasing viral suppression disparities for women living with HIV (WLWH) in the Southern United States (i.e., the South) are few and seldom consider diverse social locations. These refer broadly and dynamically to contextual factors and the position people occupy in a social hierarchy based on intersecting systems of oppression and social determinants of health…
Peer advice for women living with HIV in the Southern USA
Peer advice can provide emotional, social and practical assistance for the sustained self-management of chronic conditions. For stigmatised diseases such as HIV, finding support can be challenging. Women living with HIV in the Southern USA are additionally impacted upon by region-specific barriers such as stigma, poverty and limited access to services. The effectiveness of peer advice has been studied, yet little is known about the advice shared …
Exploring the protective experiences of those who “protect and serve”
Given the need for mission readiness of Service members and their higher likelihood to experience ACEs than civilians, the role of protective and compensatory factors is vital to their livelihood and career. PACES psychometrics offer a reliable and valid measure to use when exploring the risk and resilience experiences of Service members across the lifespan.

The impact of child and parental age on protective factors against child maltreatment
Although young age for both the parent and child is implicated in incidences of maltreatment, little is known about the association between parent or child age and protective factors related to child maltreatment prevention. With a sample of parents receiving child maltreatment prevention services in Kansas ( N = 1993), we used regression analyses to examine whether the interaction of child and parent age influences family‐level protective factor…
Determining Power and Sample Size for Simple and Complex Mediation Models
Mediation analyses abound in social and personality psychology. Current recommendations for assessing power and sample size in mediation models include using a Monte Carlo power analysis simulation and testing the indirect effect with a bootstrapped confidence interval. Unfortunately, these methods have rarely been adopted by researchers due to limited software options and the computational time needed. We propose a new method and convenient tool…

Why the items versus parcels controversy needn’t be one.
The use of item parcels has been a matter of debate since the earliest use of factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Here, we review the arguments that have been levied both for and against the use of parcels and discuss the relevance of these arguments in light of the building body of empirical evidence investigating their performance. We discuss the many advantages of parcels that some researchers find attractive and highlight, too, …
Orthogonalizing Through Residual Centering
Residual centering is a useful tool for orthogonalizing variables and latent constructs, yet it is underused in the literature. The purpose of this article is to encourage residual centering’s use by highlighting instances where it can be helpful: modeling higher order latent variable interactions, removing collinearity from latent constructs, creating phantom indicators for multiple group models, and controlling for covariates prior to latent va…
Regrets, I've had a few
Despite extensive research on regret, relatively little is known about the underlying mechanisms of regret within close relationships. Attachment theory provides a theoretical framework to study regret within close relationships. Specifically, anxiously attached people tend to have negative views of themselves and their past acts, which is likely to result in a higher tendency to experience regret. Attachment security is likely to attenuate this …
Looking young for your age
Despite the potential benefits of looking young, we predicted that older adults who attempt to look younger than they are would threaten the distinctiveness of young adults' social identity and, for this reason, such “passers” would be evaluated negatively. In three experiments we found that both male and female young adults negatively evaluated older adults who attempt to look younger compared to older adults who do not attempt to do so. Both ma…
