Geology of the basement rocks of Andorra, central Pyrenees
In this work we present a 1:50,000 geological map of the basement rocks of Andorra that is the harmonization of the results of two decades of field work and data analyses in the frame of the 1:25,000 Geological Map of Andorra Project by CENMA–IEA (at present AR + I, Andorra Research + Innovation). The study area lies entirely in the Axial Zone of the Pyrenees, where only late Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks and Quaternary deposits crop out. Th…
Geology of giant quartz veins and their host rocks from the Eastern Pyrenees (Southwest Europe)
Giant Quartz Veins (GQVs) are ubiquitous in different tectonic settings and, besides being often related to hydrothermal ore deposits, also represent large-scale fingerprints of the structural and geochemical history of the rocks in which they are hosted. Here we present detailed geological maps and interpretations of three key areas of the Eastern Pyrenees where GQVs are well exposed. The studied rocks record different styles of deformation and …

Latino/a Immigration: Actions and Outcomes Based on Perceptions and Emotions or Facts
This article describes how the perceived increase in Latino/a immigration, the present economic conditions, and the tendency to ascribe negative attributes and behaviors to the immigrant are resulting in anti-immigration actions and laws. It directs attention to the detrimental effects that such perceptions, actions, and laws are having on the psychological and social well-being of Latino/a immigrant families and children. Efforts are taken throu…

Using tephrochronology to date temperate ice: Correlation between ice tephras on Livingston Island and eruptive units on Deception Island volcano (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica)
Tephra layers are interstratified in the ice caps of the South Shetland Islands. Although previously poorly investigated, they are potential targets for the application of tephrochronology and, hence, may provide temporal constraints on glaciological models for the region. Several tephra layers crop out in the coastal ice-cliffs and ablation ramps of Livingston Island. Using stratigraphical position, granulometry and bulk sample geochemistry, the…
Directions and Redirections in Chicano Psychology
This reaction provides a general overview of the articles on Chicana(o) mental health issues. Summaries of the respective articles are provided. Selective aspects of each article are highlighted and serve as the basis for making critical comments and recommendations relative to the topics addressed in the articles. Out of a desire to provoke thought regarding other topics that merit attention, an overview of two research topics is provided—one th…
Ethnic Parity Goals are Not Race-Based Quotas
Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Use among Migrant and Nonmigrant Mexican American Youth
Increase in smoking/tobacco-related diseases among the Hispanic population calls for an examination of its use among this population. This study examined the relationship between gender, level of cultural identification, migrant status, and grade level and tobacco use and perception of its harn among Mexican American youth. Results showed males more likely to use cigarettes (occasional and daily) and smokeless tobacco than females when grade, cul…
Achieving Ethnic Parity in Counseling Psychology
With the increasing diversification of the population comes an increased need for ethnic minority psychologists. Most counseling psychology programs will have to dramatically increase the numbers of ethnic minority students they enroll and faculty they hire to achieve parity and meet the need for more ethnic minority counseling psychologists in the future. This article describes the preconditions and strategies needed to recruit, to select, and t…
Hispanic Masculinity: Myth or Psychological Schema Meriting Clinical Consideration
Given the significant upsurge in research on White males of European origin that documents a relationship between the construct of male gender identity (i.e., machismo) and physical and mental health, there is a clinical need to study and understand this construct and its relationship to health across diverse racial/ethnic groups, including, but not limited to, Hispanics. To help develop such understanding, this article first directs attention to…

Counseling Psychology's Public Image
One of the major issues in need of increased attention from professionals in the field of counseling psychology is that of public image. What type of image do we, as members of the discipline, wish to project? And how may we further the perception that counseling psychology is a vital resource to be utilized in addressing societal issues? This report, comprising several working papers presented at the Third National Conference for Counseling Psyc…
Cognitive Behavioral Approaches: A Minority Perspective
Stereotyping the Stereotyper a Mexican American Perspective
A total of 28 Spanish-speaking and 17 English-speaking Mexican American couples were interviewed to assess their perceptions of the stereotypes that they believed ascribed to them by Anglo-Americans. Additionally, the degree of the subjects' perceptions was examined as a function of subject gender, level of education, language spoken, and ethnic self-identification. In general, the subjects perceived the stereotypes ascribed to them by Anglo-Amer…
A Reflection on the Status of Racial/Ethnic Minority Research
This article provides a nonexhaustive and critical review of selective research on client-counselor variables to exemplify the type and status and/or quality of work conducted on racial/ethnic minorities. In addition, specific and generic methodological and professional recommendations for improving the quality of research across topics and variables are proposed
Exploring the Applicability of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale for Assessing Level of Marital Adjustment with Mexican Americans
The purpose of this study was (a) to explore the appropriateness of using the Dyadic Adjustment Scale's (DAS) norming criteria to assess level of marital adjustment among a subgroup of Mexican Americans and (b) to identify any intragroup response variability among the Mexican-American subgroup. Thirty-nine Mexican-American couples (20 AMexican born and 19 U.S. born) were asked to complete the DAS. In general, the scores obtained by the Mexican-Am…
The Categorization of Ethnic Stereotypes by University Counselors
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of cognitive organizational factors on stereotyping. Using a free-sort task, it was found that university counselors tend to form constellations of stereotypes that correspond to specific ethnic groups. Although there was a tendency not to differentiate Anglo and Asian American stereotypes, Chicano stereotypes were well differentiated from the other two groups. Implications for research and …
Mexican Americans and mental health: A selected review and recommendations for mental health service delivery
Eight working assumptions are generated from the literature in three problem areas and evaluated with recently published quantitative data, paying particular attention to variation within the ethnic group. Assumptions that Mexican Americans have few emotional problems, primarily use a folk medical system, do not rely on clergymen for emotional support, and have negative attitudes toward mental health services are rejected. Two assumptions are qua…
