Blame and Digital Hostility Among Displaced Ukrainians
This study examined the psychological impact of the 2022 Russian invasion on Ukrainian migrants in the United States. Using data from 703 participants, we examined whether U.S.-based Ukrainians blamed Russian citizens for the invasion, how their perceptions of Russians changed, and whether they experienced digital hostility for leaving Ukraine. A structural equation model tested the associations between these factors on cultural and family-econom…
Polysubstance Use Trajectories and Social-Ecological Predictors in a Multi-Ethnic Sample of Adolescents
Background Substance use—including the use and co-use of alcohol, cigarettes, and illicit drugs—often emerges in adolescence. However, the longitudinal structure of polysubstance use and its social-ecological predictors are less understood. We examined (a) higher-order trajectories of polysubstance use (encompassing alcohol, cigarette, and illicit drug use) and (b) their associations with individual- and family-level factors.Methods Participants …
Familial Experiences of Crisis Exposure and Cultural Stress With Depressive Symptoms Among Venezuelan Parent‐Adolescent Dyads in the United States
Studies suggest that Venezuelan migrant families in the United States face both pre‐migration crisis exposures and post‐migration cultural stressors, both of which may influence their depressive symptoms. However, few studies have examined how familial pre‐ and post‐migration stressors additively and interactively predict depressive symptoms among Venezuelan parents and adolescents. We examined whether (a) pre‐ and post‐migration stressors can be…
Optimism predicts future economic mobility among hurricane maria migrants
In the United States, the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters continue to rise, leading to increased displacement of individuals and families. Those forcibly displaced often face heightened uncertainty, vulnerability to mental and cultural stressors, and economic insecurity. Economic mobility during and after resettlement may, to some extent, be a function of migrant adaptation, mental health, and psychological functioning. Howeve…
How do pre-migration crisis exposures and post-migration cultural stressors shape mental health symptoms among Venezuelan youth in the United States and Colombia
Acculturation Through an Ecological Perspective and the Emergence of Eco-Acculturation Theory
This article introduces Eco-Acculturation Theory, which incorporates climate, natural ecosystems, and environmental challenges into existing models of migrant adjustment. Drawing from my personal migration experience, particularly my adaptation to Miami’s tropical climate and the natural disasters I encountered, I demonstrate how the environment influences psychological resilience and cultural identity. In so doing, this research proposes a funda…
The status‐related stress scale (SRSS)
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure stress associated with maintaining temporary nonimmigrant study or employment status (e.g., F‐1, J‐1, or H‐1B status) among Asian adults in the United States. Items were developed following a combination of both deductive and inductive reasoning and refined through a systematic item generation process involving target population members and expert panels. We recruited a sample o…
The Immigration‐Related Political Ideology Scale
Navigating Cultural Stress and Mental Health
INTRODUCTION: Cultural stressors during migration can shape family dynamics and impact mental health outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between cultural stress, parent-adolescent communication, and psychological well-being among Former Soviet Union (FSU) immigrant families in Israel. METHODS: This longitudinal survey study collected data at three time points. The first wave of data collection occurred between June and August 2020,…
Optimism and language proficiency predict incidence of and remission from PTSD among climate migrants
We observed a rapid initial remission from positive PTSD screen for a substantial portion of the sample. Participants who are proficient in English language may be most likely to screen positive for PTSD over time and least likely to remit from a positive PTSD screen. Findings underscore the importance of optimism and higher English proficiency for both decreased incidence of and increased remission from PTSD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 A…
Anticipatory grief and perseverative worry
Ukrainian migrants face a complex spectrum of trauma and emotional distress, influenced by their ongoing connection to a conflict zone and by constant worry for their families' safety. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

5.01). Importantly, individuals arriving after the invasion were disproportionately represented in the high-stress class, with a significant majority meeting criteria for probable anxiety, depression, and PTSD diagnoses. Furthermore, a substantial portion of high-stress participants met criteria for alcohol dependence, emphasizing the pivotal role of stressors in influencing the mental health of Ukrainian migrants, and suggesting the need for tai…

Validating negative context of reception scale for Ukrainians in the US
Cultural stress, personal identity development, and mental health among U.S. Hispanic college students
The present study examines the extent to which culturally stressful experiences may predict impaired well-being, increased internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety), and increased externalizing problems (social aggression, physical aggression, and rule breaking) among a sample of Hispanic college students in Miami across a 12-day period. The predictive effects of cultural stressors on these outcomes were examined both (a) directly and (b) i…
The effect of the Russian invasion on mental, social, and behavioral health among Ukrainians living in the United States
Our findings offer valuable insights into the mental health and well-being of displaced Ukrainians within the backdrop of ongoing conflicts. These findings have significant implications for support and intervention efforts not only for Ukrainians but also for other crisis migrant groups.

Disentangling the directionality among cultural stressors and psychosocial outcomes in recently immigrated Hispanic families
Research shows the impact of cultural stressors (e.g. perceived discrimination, bicultural stressors, negative context of reception) on adolescents' psychosocial outcomes. Given the presence of multiple cultural stressors in many Hispanic adolescents' lives, it is essential to examine the (a) developmental sequencing of cultural stressors among recent immigrant youth and (b) predictive effects of cultural stressors on adolescents' psychosocial ou…
Longitudinal determinants of thriving in Puerto Rican climate crisis migrants on the U.S. mainland

The spillover effect of implicit immigrant stereotypes and incidental pandemic threat
Ethnic discrimination, cultural identification, and well-being among undocumented Hispanic immigrants in the United States
34.83), gender (50% men), and time spent in the United States were included as covariates. Higher ethnic discrimination was associated with lower U.S. and ethnic identity. Both ethnic and U.S. identity were positively associated with flourishing, whereas only U.S. identity was positively associated with life satisfaction. We also found a significant indirect effect of ethnic identity in the relationship between ethnic discrimination and flourishi…
Cultural Stressors and Cultural Identity Styles Among Hispanic College Students
Research shows that cultural identity styles (CIS; i.e., hybrid identity style [HIS] vs. alternating identity style [AIS]) and cultural stressors (i.e., discrimination, negative context of reception, and bicultural stressors) are associated, but the directionality of this association remains unclear. Using a 2-wave, self-report dataset and a cross-lagged design, we examined the directionality of the associations between cultural stressors and CIS…
The emotional citizen
Mass migration and COVID-19 represent two converging challenges affecting immigrant-receiving countries. Our understanding of intergroup emotion profiles—positive (happiness, hope, and sympathy) and negative (anger, fear, and disgust)—among members of immigrant destination societies in times of global uncertainty remains limited. Drawing from panel samples from nine countries ( N = 13,645), and controlling for relevant covariates, we aimed to ext…
