The present study examines main and interactive effects of objectification and English proficiency on developmental outcomes among immigrant mothers and children. Meth...
Shift-&-persist is a coping strategy that has been shown to lead to positive health outcomes in low-SES youth but has not yet been examined with respect to psychological health. This study tests whether the shift-&-persist coping strategy works in tandem with ethnic-racial identity to protect against depressive symptoms in the face of two uncontrol...
Ethnicity-related dating preferences among Asian American adolescents and the links between preferences (i.e., for a same-ethnic dating partner) and ethnic identity centrality and regard, American identity centrality and regard, parent-adolescent closeness, and perceptions of discrimination were investigated. Data from 175 self-identified Asian Ame...
Framed by developmental and biopsychosocial models, this chapter focuses on the promotive and protective role of racial-ethnic socialization for minoritized youth across the life course. We focus on its links with physical and mental health outcomes as well as moderation and mediational links in reducing the negative outcomes of discrimination. Our...
Historically, research on racial socialization (RS) has centered on frequency, beliefs, and content of parent–child communications, with varied applications and implications across racial and ethnic subgroups. The Racial Socialization Competency Scale (RaSCS; Anderson et al., 2020) was developed to assess three dimensions of a novel construct, RS c...
The present study explores the ways Black/African American emerging adult college students (ages 18–20) and their caregivers engage in racial-ethnic socialization via mobile communication technologies, within the context of a minority-serving 4 year university in the Southeastern US. Qualitative integrative analysis of focus groups ( N = 12 Black/A...
Objectives: Ethnic–racial identity (ERI) has important implications for individual psychosocial functioning as well as familial processes. For example, parents’ ERI can shape children’s developmental contexts through ethnic–racial socialization (ERS). Yet, existing research has tended to focus on the content or frequency of socialization messages t...
Evidence suggests that within the context of collectivistic minority groups, familial pride may function largely as a family-based emotion. We examined whether emotions derived from achieving on behalf of ones’ family were associated with positive psychological functioning in Asian American college students. The sample for this cross-sectional desi...

This study investigated the main and interactive effects of identity-based challenges, discrimination, and Multiracial pride on psychological distress in Biracial emerging adults.

Using Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory as a guide, this mixed-methods study investigated patterns in Asian American adolescents’ preferences and their open-ended reasoning for a sam...

Carbonyls are harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) in mainstream cigarette smoke (MSS). Carbonyls, including formaldehyde and acrolein, are carcinogenic or mutagenic in a dose-dependent manner. Past studies demonstrate significant reduction of HPHCs by charcoal filtration. However, limits of charcoal filtration and cigarette design...
Carbonyls, especially aldehydes, are a group of harmful volatile organic compounds that are found in tobacco smoke. Seven carbonyls are listed on the FDA's harmful and potential harmful constituents list for tobacco or tobacco smoke. Carbonyls have reactive functional groups and thus are challenging to quantitatively measure in cigarette smoke. The...
