The purpose of this study was to analyze the mediating pathway of coping behaviors in the relations between trait emotional intelligence, and wo…
West African Immigrant Perspectives on Female Genital Cutting: Experiences, Attitudes, and Implications for Mental Health Service Providers
Knowledge and attitudes toward female genital cutting among West African male immigrants in New York City
In this project, we explored knowledge and attitudes toward female genital cutting (FGC) in a survey of 107 West African immigrants, including 36 men. Men in this study were as knowledgeable about the health consequences of FGC as women, though with a less nuanced understanding. They also rejected the practice at rates comparable to women. Despite this knowledge and rejection of FGC, most men did not express a personal preference for women with o…

The Social Ecology of Resolving Family Conflict Among West African Immigrants in New York: A Grounded Theory Approach
The current study employs a grounded theory approach to examine West African immigrants’ resolution of parent–child conflict and intimate partner conflict. Data from 59 participants present an interactive social ecological framework, where a lack of resolution at one level results in attempts to resolve problems at higher levels. Four levels are identified within West African immigrants’ problem solving ecology, each with specific actors in posit…
Forced Migration and Psychotic Symptoms: An Analysis of the National Latino and Asian American Study
Immigrants report more psychotic symptoms than native-born populations. This study used data from the U.S.-based, nationally representative and culturally validated National Latino and Asian American Study to investigate whether refugees are at higher risk of psychotic symptoms than voluntary migrants. In this study, refugee status predicted more psychotic symptoms. Effects remained significant in most models after controlling for demographic cov…
