Social representations of Canadian history
Social representations of history are the ways in which lay people recall and think about their collective past. Rather than provide us with an objective view of the past, they highlight present-day subjectivities. The current study assesses social representations of history from three Canadian provinces: Québec, Nova Scotia and Ontario. We catalogue historical events freely recalled by our participants, observing a distinct narrative of Québec n…
Pornography Use and Adolescent Sexual Self-Concept: The Role of Pornography-Related Expectancies and Generalizations
Growing Together Through Our Cultural Differences: Self-Expansion in Intercultural Romantic Relationships
Intercultural romantic relationships are increasingly common and although the obstacles such couples face are well documented, the factors that facilitate their success are less studied. Although cultural differences may present challenges, they also offer opportunities for self-expansion—personal growth via new perspectives, knowledge, and identities. In three studies using cross-sectional, dyadic, longitudinal, and experimental methods ( N Tota…
Therapist and client perceptions of empathy in simulated teletherapy sessions
Empathy is thought to be reduced in videoconference (VC) compared to face-to-face (F2F) therapy. To empirically test this possibility, therapist and client ratings of empathy and its correlates were examined in VC and F2F sessions. Forty-eight students in clinical training programs were randomly assigned to the role of ‘therapist’ or ‘client’, forming 24 dyads. Each dyad completed a simulated clinical session in F2F and in VC and reported on empa…
Cultural competence, acculturation orientations, and attachment dimensions in future social workers and occupational therapists before entering these professions: A comparative study
Intimate racism from one's partner in young intercultural couples
Racism from one's partner is a highly sensitive phenomenon that has received little research attention. The current research introduces the concept of “intimate racism” to refer to racism from close others. The manifestation of intimate racism in intercultural romantic relationships was explored with a sample of 92 racialized minorities who were currently, or previously, in an intercultural relationship. An online survey enquired about the experi…
Adolescents’ Self Perceptions: Connecting Psychosocial Competencies to the Sexual Self-Concept
Adolescence is a crucial period for the development of the sexual self-concept. While existing research shows that adolescents' sexual self-concept varies, few studies have examined its relation with psychosocial competencies such as the general self-concept, interpersonal skills, and self-control capacities. The objective of this study was to examine the association between dimensions of the sexual self-concept (sexual self- and body esteem, sel…

Adolescents’ Perception of Their Sexual Self, Relational Capacities, Attitudes Towards Sexual Pleasure and Sexual Practices: A Descriptive Analysis
Divided Together: How Marginalization of Intercultural Relationships Is Associated With Identity Integration and Relationship Quality
Despite the growing prevalence of intercultural romantic relationships—in which partners identify with different racial, national, or religious backgrounds—people in intercultural relationships still face marginalization and disapproval from others. Relationship marginalization sends a message to couples that they do not belong together, and partners may feel that their cultural identity and their relationship are disconnected. Two studies—one st…
More Than the Sum of Its Parts: A Transformative Theory of Biculturalism
With the rise of globalization, culture mixing increasingly occurs not only between groups and individuals belonging to different cultures but also within individuals. Biculturals, or people who are part of two cultures, are a growing population that has been studied in recent years; yet, there is still much to learn about exactly how their unique experiences of negotiating their cultures affect the way they think and behave. Past research has at…
Discrimination and multicultural identity configurations: The mediating role of stress
The Multicultural Identity Integration Scale (Multiis): Developing a comprehensive measure for configuring one’s multiple cultural identities within the self
These findings support the CDSMII and the usefulness of the MULTIIS measure, and suggest that each identity configuration is uniquely related to well-being outcomes
Social representations of the Holocaust and Jewish Israeli identity construction: Insights From Identity Process Theory
This study explores how a group of young Israeli Jews understood and defined their ethno-national identities, focusing upon the role of social representations of the Holocaust in the construction of Jewish Israeli identity. Eleven individuals were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. Transcripts were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. The analysis was informed by identity process theory and social representa…
