Differences and similarities between ethnic-racial identity and critical consciousness links among diverse parents of color
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1037/ort0000752. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParents of color's critical consciousness development (understanding of and actions to redress societal inequalities) is an important yet understudied area, especially relative to the burgeoning literature on youth's critical consciousness development. As with youth of color, ethnic-racial identity, or the meaning and importance placed on one's ethnic-racial group membership, likely plays a notable yet complex role in parents' critical consciousness. Specifically, parents' participation in activities that engage them in the culture of ...

Privilege and distress intolerance at the margins: Exploring the role of critical consciousness and entitlement
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1037/ort0000722. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith a U.S.-based sample of 219 people of color with diverse sexual orientations, the present study aimed to reveal how perceived privilege may be associated with distress intolerance, and the mediating roles of critical consciousness and entitlement. Data were also used to explore the interaction of sexual orientation status (heterosexual or sexual minority) with these paths. Via path analysis, we found that privilege was unrelated to critical consciousness, yielded a positive direct link to entitlement, and had a negative direct link...

Necessary, burdensome, or threatening? Awareness of Black-White disparities in health care access and self-rated health for Black and White Americans
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1037/ort0000740. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAwareness of racial health care inequities is one prerequisite to eliminating them. Although extant research has described awareness of racial health care inequities in the United States, the health impacts of such awareness on communities that are most impacted by these inequities remains unknown. Therefore, we examined associations between awareness of Black-White racial health care inequities and self-rated health for Black and White adults in the United States. We used survey data from non-Hispanic Black and White participants (N ...

Strengths and challenges among Black and Latinx people living with HIV during COVID-19: A mixed-methods investigation of the translation of self-management across syndemic health crises
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1037/ort0000732. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlack and Latinx people are disproportionately impacted by HIV, COVID-19, and other syndemic health crises with similar underlying social determinants of health. Lessons learned from the HIV pandemic and COVID-19 response have been invoked to improve health equity at the systemic level in the face of other emergent health crises. However, few have examined the potential translation of strategies between syndemics at the individual level. The current mixed-methods study examined strategies used to manage HIV during the COVID-19 pandemi...

Transgender older adults' prior military service: Mental health differences by gender identification
We examined the distal relationship between prior military service, identity stigma, and mental health among transgender older adults, drawing comparisons between transgender men and women. We conducted a series of weighted multivariate linear models to predict the relationships between prior military service, identity stigma, perceived stress, and depression among 183 transgender women and men aged 51-87 (M = 60.11, SD = 0.668) using 2014 data from the National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study. Prior military service was negatively associated with depression and perceived stress; identity stigma was positively as...

Ethnic inequality between Arabs and Jews in Israel in global life satisfaction: A social determinants examination among young adults
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1037/ort0000739. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobal life satisfaction (GLS), a core construct of subjective well-being, plays a vital role in positive development among young adults. Persistent inequality in subjective well-being across minority versus majority groups is a growing public health concern. However, research evidence on the minority-majority disparity in GLS among representative samples of young adults is scarce. Based on national data from Israel (N = 2,405), this study examines (a) the association of multiple forms of economic (not in education, employment, or tra...

Well-being and contexts of development of U.S. citizen children in Mexico following parental deportation or voluntary relocation
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1037/ort0000734. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen undocumented immigrant parents are deported from the United States, they must decide whether or not to take their U.S.-born and undocumented immigrant children with them, often to countries the children have never visited or know little about. Other parents do not wait to be deported by the government and decide to relocate to their home countries with or without their children. Both sets of families experience relocation but under different circumstances. These differences deserve exploration to understand the psychological and ...

Cultural stress, personal identity development, and mental health among U.S. Hispanic college students
Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1037/ort0000735. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 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) indirectly through daily fluctuations in students' personal identity synthesis and confusio...

Factors mitigate the effect of widowhood's mental health impact: A longitudinal test from individual, familial, and social perspectives
This study investigates the longitudinal relationship between widowhood and depression and examines the interaction effects of health asymmetry, the number of children, and urban-rural differences from individual, familial, and social perspectives. A sample of 9,563 individuals for the four rounds period (from 2011 to 2018) is obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Results demonstrate that (a) the depression associated with widowhood is expected to revert to prewidowhood level after 3 years, (b) the relationship between widowhood and depression is stronger for older adults who are health pessimis...
