A Culturally Congruent Psychosocial Intervention for Latino Caregivers of Children with Cancer: Intervention Development
Background : Cancer health disparities among Latinos in the United States are pervasive and manifest in higher morbidity and mortality among pediatric cancer patients and their parents/caregivers. There is a need to engage in culturally congruent approaches to develop interventions that effectively mitigate cancer health disparities among Latino caregivers. Aims : The purpose of this manuscript is to present the methodological process of adopting…
A Culturally Congruent Psychosocial Intervention for Latino Caregivers of Children with Cancer: Formative Evaluation and Preliminary Efficacy
Background : Parents of children with cancer experience significant psychological distress that is associated with poorer health outcomes. A recent review of caregiver interventions illustrated none targeting Latino parents of children with cancer and a significant need for culturally congruent intervention approaches. Aims : Following our first paper in this issue describing the development of a community co-developed intervention to address psy…
Affectionate touch frequency is not always associated with well-being: A comparison of Latin American and Swiss samples
Affectionate touch is a consistent predictor of well-being; however, relevant studies have mostly been conducted in individualistic cultural settings, such as Switzerland and the United States. Moreover, cross-cultural studies on affectionate touch have largely failed to assess the measurement invariance of their measures. The Latin-American cultural context fosters warm exchanges in close relationships, based on “convivial collectivism” values. …
The protective role of culture: Familism, depressive symptoms, and stress among U.S.- and foreign-born Latina mothers
Achieving health equity for U.S. Latinas requires a better understanding of how cultural factors influence mental health, especially during life transitions. This study examined one cultural factor, familism, in relation to depressive symptoms and stress among U.S. and foreign-born Latinas during early parenting. We also tested whether associations varied by nativity. Data were drawn from a sample of 420 U.S.- and foreign-born Latina mothers part…
Perceived neighborhood disorder and type 2 diabetes disparities in Hispanic, Black, and White Americans
Introduction: Approximately 32 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and that number continues to grow. Higher prevalence rates are observed among certain subgroups, including members of marginalized racial/ethnic groups as well as residents of disordered neighborhoods (i.e., those with more trash and vandalism). Institutionalized discriminatory practices have resulted in disproportionate representation of marginalized racial/ethnic groups in d…
Culturally adapting relational savoring: A therapeutic approach to improve relationship quality
Relational savoring (RS) is a brief, strengths‐based approach to heightening attentional focus to moments of positive connectedness within relationships. RS can be administered preventatively or within an intervention context when a therapist aspires to foster more optimal relational functioning. Typically administered within a one‐on‐one therapy setting, RS has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing intra‐ and interpersonal outcomes. To increase acc…
Maternal blood pressure and birth weight associations in U.S.-born and foreign-born Latinas
This is the first evidence that BP may mediate the association between cultural orientation and pregnancy outcomes in Latina-American women. These findings advance our understanding of the biopsychosocial pathways through which acculturation to the U.S. links with health. As scholars seek to better understand the influence of U.S. acculturation on health, focusing on the cardiovascular system and other physiological systems that are sensitive to …
Depression risk and resilience in a diverse sample of older adults in the United States
What predicts interdependence with family? The relative contributions of ethnicity/race and social class
These findings provide novel evidence for the relevance of both ethnicity/race and social class-two aspects of culture-for family interdependence. They highlight the centrality of interdependence with family among foreign-born Latino/a Americans while showing that European Americans, a group considered most representative of cultural individualism, can also highly value interdependence with family. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all righ…
Intercultural romantic relationship quality: What is the role of accommodation
Research comparing the romantic relationship quality of individuals in intercultural and intracultural relationships has yielded inconsistent findings. The current study examined whether accommodation, the process of responding constructively to relationship problems, would reveal new insight on this topic. Undergraduate students ( N = 343) reported on whether they were in an intercultural or intracultural romantic relationship and completed surv…
Seeking Just Us: A Mixed Methods Investigation of Racism-Specific Support Among Black College Students
Social support is theorized to protect health against the negative effects of stress. However, findings are mixed regarding whether social support protects Black people’s psychological well-being against racism. The current mixed methods study examined racism-specific support (RSS)—social support in response to racism—in same- (Black/Black) and cross-race (Black/non-Black) friendships. We investigated whether 31 Black college students ( M age = 1…
Within- and between-group heterogeneity in cultural models of emotion among people of European, Asian, and Latino heritage in the United States
Research on cultural variation in emotion values and beliefs has usually explained this variation in terms of individualism and collectivism, typically comparing European American against East Asian cultural contexts. This study examined emotion model variability across as well as within cultural contexts in a large sample of young adults of Latino heritage along with people of European and East Asian heritage. Using latent class analysis, we cha…
Pregnancy anxiety and beliefs surrounding motherhood in Latinas: A qualitative study
The present study highlights specific themes that may be important to consider in the context of Latina perinatal health. Such findings set the stage for future investigations examining the experience of anxiety specific to pregnancy in Latinas
Relational savoring intervention: Positive impacts for mothers and evidence of cultural compatibility for Latinas
Parenting young children poses numerous emotion regulation challenges, and prevention programs that promote emotion regulation skills can help with this important task of parenthood. Relational savoring (RS), which entails savoring a positive experience of interpersonal connectedness, is a brief manualized intervention program, 4 weeks in length, grounded in positive psychology and attachment theory. In the current longitudinal, randomized, contr…
The Future of Women in Psychological Science
There has been extensive discussion about gender gaps in representation and career advancement in the sciences. However, psychological science itself has yet to be the focus of discussion or systematic review, despite our field’s investment in questions of equity, status, well-being, gender bias, and gender disparities. In the present article, we consider 10 topics relevant for women’s career advancement in psychological science. We focus on issu…
Latino Resentimiento
Resentment in anti-immigrant and anti-Latino political rhetoric often focuses on perceived demographic changes, white population decline, and economic decline. Resentimiento, by contrast, connotes disgust and anger at mistreatment through hostile words or acts such as those conveyed in negative political rhetoric. To explore the nature of resentimiento, Mexican-origin students at a California university were shown samples of negative (N = 95) or …
Who emphasizes positivity? An exploration of emotion values in people of Latino, Asian, and European heritage living in the United States
Emotion values vary within and between individualistic and collectivistic cultural contexts. The form of collectivism prevalent in Latin America emphasizes simpatía, a cultural model that stresses the relational benefits of positivity but also the costs of negativity. This model was predicted to engender a pattern of emotion values distinct from that of the more commonly studied collectivist group, people of Asian heritage (PAH), among whom an em…
Measurement of a Latino cultural value: The Simpatía scale
The Simpatía Scale, which captures dual aspects of simpatía that emphasize the positive and avoid the negative, provides a new tool for advancing the study of Latino culture. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
Socioeconomic inequality undermines relationship quality in romantic relationships
The present research tests how socioeconomic inequality (within romantic relationships) predicts relationship quality and observable expressions of emotion-examining longitudinal self-report and behavioral data from both partners of romantic couples. In Part 1, we examined the romantic partners' self-reports of relationship quality at baseline and after three and a half months. In keeping with prior research on how power inequality undermines rel…
Measurement properties of Sabogal’s Familism Scale: Findings from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) sociocultural ancillary study
Familism is a central Hispanic/Latino cultural value that emphasizes close, supportive family relationships and prioritizing family over the self. One of its best-known measures is Sabogal's Familism Scale (Sabogal, Marin, Otero-Sabogal, VanOss Marin, & Perez-Stable, 1987). Although widely used, this scale's measurement properties are not well understood. This study addressed that gap by examining the factor structure, factorial invariance, conve…
Ethnic variation in gratitude and well-being
Gratitude is positively associated with health and well-being. Past studies of gratitude have primarily focused on the distinct cultural context of European Americans. The current studies aimed to extend gratitude research to Latino and East Asian Americans, 2 collectivistic contexts known to differently value positive emotions. Two studies explored whether Latino and East Asian Americans varied in gratitude experience and whether the disposition…
Do cultural values have a role in health equity? A study of Latina mothers and daughters
First, familism has the potential to buffer the negative effect of stress in ways that are protective for health among Latinas at risk for diabetes. Second, this buffering effect has boundary conditions, suggesting that a better understanding is needed of how, for whom, and under what circumstances familism can be beneficial for health.

Familism
Familism is the term used to describe a societal norm for family members to prioritize family interests over individual preferences. Its norms capture the rights and obligations that individual family members have in relation to kin and involve family solidarity and integration. Familism has been formally studied since the 1940s. It was originally framed as a cultural deficit, but current evidence suggests that familism is a cultural strength for…
Words hurt: Political rhetoric, emotions/affect, and psychological well-being among Mexican-origin youth
Subjective Socioeconomic Status Matters Less When Perceived Social Support Is High: A Study of Cortisol Responses to Stress
Low objective and subjective socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with the experience of frequent stressors known to have physiological costs. We tested whether perceived social support, a key health-protective resource, buffered the association between lower subjective SES and cortisol responses to an acute stressor. Participants ( N = 115; 54.78% female; age M = 19.56) reported subjective SES and perceived support, completed a social-evalua…
Similarity, convergence, and relationship satisfaction in dating and married couples
The current work investigates how personality and interpersonal processes combine to predict change in relationship quality. Measures of personality and emotion similarity were collected during laboratory interactions from a cross-sectional sample of dating couples (Study 1) and a 1-year longitudinal study of newlywed married couples (Study 2). Results showed that emotion similarity mediated the association between personality similarity and rela…
Familism and psychological health: The intervening role of closeness and social support
Familism, a cultural value that emphasizes warm, close, supportive family relationships and that family be prioritized over self, has been associated with psychological health. The goal of this work was to fill a gap in the literature on how familism contributes to psychological health. Drawing from conceptual links between familism and close relationship processes, we hypothesized that familism contributes to better psychological health by facil…
Incorporating the cultural diversity of family and close relationships into the study of health
Relationships are at the center of the human social environment, and their quality and longevity are now recognized to have particular relevance for health. The goal of this article is to bring attention to the role of culture in how relationships, particularly close relationships and family relationships, influence health. To this end, 2 contexts that are characterized by 2 distinct forms of cultural collectivism (East Asian and Latino) are spot…
Familialism, social support, and stress: Positive implications for pregnant Latinas
This study examined the association of familialism, a cultural value that emphasizes close family relationships, with social support, stress, pregnancy anxiety, and infant birth weight. Foreign-born Latina (n = 31), U.S.-born Latina (n = 68), and European American (n = 166) women living in the United States participated in a prospective study of pregnancy in which they completed measures of familialism, social support, stress, and pregnancy anxie…

Dating out is intercultural: Experience and perceived parent disapproval by ethnicity and immigrant generation
Romantic relationships are situated within broader cultural and family contexts, and this may be particularly salient to those in intergroup relationships. This study examined variations in young adults' experiences with intercultural romantic relationships by ethnicity and immigrant generation. A sample of ethnically diverse young adults ( N = 628; Asian, Latino, and European background) reported on self and parent attitudes toward dating outsid…
Familism: A cultural value with implications for romantic relationship quality in U.S. Latinos
Familism is a cultural value that emphasizes interdependent family relationships that are warm, close, and supportive. We theorized that familism values can be beneficial for romantic relationships and tested whether (a) familism would be positively associated with romantic relationship quality and (b) this association would be mediated by less attachment avoidance. Evidence indicates that familism is particularly relevant for U.S. Latinos but is…

Sharpening the Focus on Acculturative Change: ARSMA-II, Stress, Pregnancy Anxiety, and Infant Birthweight in Recently Immigrated Latinas
Acculturation is conceptualized as a multidimensional process but is typically measured as a concurrent movement away from culture of origin as a new cultural orientation is obtained. In this study, the authors examined the overall and subscale scoring systems of the ARSMA-II, the most popular acculturation measure, for its associations with stress, pregnancy anxiety, and birthweight in a large sample of pregnant, Mexican-origin women from the St…

Familism Is Associated With Psychological Well-Being and Physical Health: Main Effects and Stress-Buffering Effects
Familism is a core Latino value that emphasizes close family relationships and prioritizing of family before the self. Familism has implications for well-being and health, but it is not clear whether these values are generally beneficial or beneficial under stress. We examined whether the associations of familism with well-being/health were consistent with a main effect or stress-buffering model in Latinos and non-Latinos. Latino ( n = 171), Euro…
Communalism predicts prenatal affect, stress, and physiology better than ethnicity and socioeconomic status
The authors examined the relevance of communalism, operationalized as a cultural orientation emphasizing interdependence, to maternal prenatal emotional health and physiology and distinguished its effects from those of ethnicity and childhood and adult socioeconomic status (SES). African American and European American women (N = 297) were recruited early in pregnancy and followed through 32 weeks gestation using interviews and medical chart revie…

Culture as a Pathway to Maximizing the Stress-Buffering Role of Social Support
We theorized that sociocultural contexts characterized by a form of interdependence that emphasizes mutual obligations, emotional positivity, and readily accessible social support from family may maximize the benefits of social support. This form of interdependence characterizes Latino culture and is captured by the cultural value familism. Eighty-six Latino and non-Latino participants completed measures of familism and perceived social support b…

Content, structure, and dynamics of personal reputation: The role of trust and status potential within social networks
In this paper we examined the content, structure, and dynamics of reputation, a person’s agreed-upon character that is constructed within social groups. In Study 1, we examined longitudinally the content and structure of an individual’s reputation as distributed across a newly forming group. In Study 2, we examined how the dynamics of reputation shape gossip, a form of reputational discourse. In keeping with theoretical claims about the function …
Are the costs of neuroticism inevitable? Evidence of attenuated effects in U.S. Latinas
Neuroticism is the heritable and stable personality trait defined by the tendency to experience negative emotion, be easily stressed, and slow to soothe. Neuroticism poses a risk for poor social and health outcomes that has been identified as a major public health concern. To date, factors that attenuate neuroticism's costs have not been identified. The goal of this work was to test the hypothesis that the costs of neuroticism would be attenuated…
Romantic love and sexual desire in close relationships
Drawing on recent claims in the study of relationships, attachment, and emotion, the authors hypothesized that romantic love serves a commitment-related function and sexual desire a reproduction-related function. Consistent with these claims, in Study 1, brief experiences of romantic love and sexual desire observed in a 3-min interaction between romantic partners were related to distinct feeling states, distinct nonverbal displays, and commitment…

Culture and the Health Benefits of Expressive Writing
Expressive writing, in which individuals put their thoughts and feelings about traumatic events into words, can benefit physical health by fostering insight into the personal meaning of stressful experiences. The authors predicted that expressive writing would neither increase insight nor reduce symptoms of illness among Asian Americans, whose culture deemphasizes the act of verbalization in meaning making. In the present study, European and Asia…
