Latinx adolescents’ possible and feared selves
Identity-related stressors and human-animal bonds
LGBTQ+ emerging adults frequently face stressors that heighten their risk of maladaptive coping behaviors, including substance use (SU). This study explores relationships between stressors associated with gender identity and expression (discrimination, rejection, and victimization), human-animal bonds (pet attachment and comfort derived from pets), and SU behaviors (nicotine use, cannabis use, and co-use of nicotine and cannabis) in 203 LGBTQ+ em…
Pet companionship and binge drinking in the context of identity-related adversity
Background : Emerging adulthood (ages 18–25) is marked by developmental transitions, increased autonomy, and identity exploration. It is also a period of elevated risk for health-compromising behaviors, including binge drinking. LGBTQ+ emerging adults face higher rates of binge drinking, largely attributable to identity-related adversity such as discrimination and victimization. Companion animals may offer emotional support and mitigate the impac…

Mental Health Help-Seeking Behaviors and Service Utilization of Black College Students
The current political climate and the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted Black college students' mental health.

Twenty-one Black col…

Findings indicated that improved family relationships significantly predicted increased belongingness to the field of medicine fo…

Does Religious Commitment Mediate the Association Between Acculturative Stress and Latinx Young Adults’ Tobacco Use
Tobacco use is a public health priority in the Latinx community. Identifying factors associated with less tobacco use could help inform community-based prevention efforts. The present study examined whether religious commitment (intrapersonal and interpersonal) mediated the association between acculturative stress and tobacco use among 224 Latinx young adults. Participants completed a battery of measures that included cultural stressors, religiou…
Discrimination and Health Among First-Generation Hispanic/Latinx Immigrants
Relations between interpersonal microaggressions, depressive symptoms, and pet attachment in an LGBTQ + emerging adult sample
Exposure to microaggressions can have detrimental impacts on the mental health of LGBTQ+ emerging adults. Positive social relationships are a well-documented protective factor that help to buffer the impact of adversity on mental health in this population. However, the role of social relationships with pets has received minimal attention in research on LGBTQ+ mental health, despite the high prevalence of pets in U.S. households. This cross-sectio…
Private and social religious coping on life satisfaction
This study aimed to examine the direct effects of private and social religious coping on perceived life satisfaction. The secondary aim was to investigate whether cultural factors (i.e., enculturation, acculturation, biculturalism) moderate this relationship. A total of 100 Latinx individuals (78% immigrants) completed measures on religious coping, life satisfaction, acculturation, enculturation, and biculturalism. There was a positive direct rel…

Anti-immigration rhetoric has consistently impacted the lives of immigrant young adults who are Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. This qualitative study sheds light on the lived psychological experiences of 21 Latinx DACA recipients who were impacted by the political debates during the Trump administration. Content analysis revealed four main psychological impacts resulting from the DACA political debates: stress, fear, an…
Cyberbullying and condom use among tertiary education students
South Africa has a high incidence of HIV. Violence in the country is also high and often perpetrated by dating partners. Dating violence can make it difficult for partners to negotiate safe sex practices. Moreover, the field of interpersonal violence is changing as social networking sites redefine interpersonal boundaries. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have examined the influence of cyberbullying on safe sexual practices. This study…
Ethnic discrimination and weight outcomes among Latinx emerging adults

Twenty-five African American maternal caregivers and their adolescent daughters participated in a video-taped discussion about tobacco. D…
How Latino American and European American adolescents discuss conflicts, sexuality, and Aids with their mothers
The authors examined how the structure of mother-adolescent conversations differs by ethnic group, age, and dyadic and individual factors. Mother-adolescent dyads of European or Latino descent participated in conversations and reported on their relationship and AIDS knowledge. Latina American mothers dominated conversations more than European American mothers, independent of socioeconomic status. Mothers dominated conversations about sexuality an…

Religiosity, Refusal Efficacy, and Substance Use Among African-American Adolescents and Young Adults
Research points toward multiple pathways (i.e., psychosocial domains) through which religiosity influences substance use behaviors. This study examined whether refusal efficacy mediated the relationship between religiosity and substance use in African-American adolescents and young adults. Four hundred thirty-five urban and rural African-Americans, aged between 12 and 25, completed measures of private and public religiosity, refusal efficacy, and…

Timing of Parent and Child Communication About Sexuality Relative to Children's Sexual Behaviors
OBJECTIVE: To examine timing of parent–child discussions about sexual topics relative to child-reported sexual behavior. METHODS: Longitudinal study of employed parents and their children, with an initial survey followed by subsequent surveys 3, 6, and 12 months later.

Parents’ Disclosure of Their HIV Infection to Their Children in the Context of the Family
We interviewed 33 HIV-infected parents from the HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study (HCSUS), 27 of their minor children, 19 adult children, and 15 caregivers about the process of children learning that their parents were HIV positive. We summarize the retrospective descriptions of parents' disclosure of their HIV status to their children, from the perspective of multiple family members. We analyzed transcripts of these interviews with systema…
Cultural Protective Factors for Community Risks and Substance Use Among Rural African American Adolescents

This study examined the extent to which traditional cultural attitudes and behaviors of 137 African American adolescents (ages 12-17) from a rural community moderated the relationship between perceived community disorganization and substance use behaviors. Results from hierarchical linear regression revealed that traditional …

Troubled Relationships
This qualitative study explored 18 high-risk adolescent Latinas' perceptions of their relationships with nonresident fathers. A number of interrelated factors-early childhood memories, mothers' interpretations, and fathers' behaviors-shaped girls' perceptions, which in turn, influenced how they interacted with fathers. Some girls struggled to make sense of fathers' diminished involvement and continued to long for them. Others grew angry and refus…
