Research on Armenian Americans and their acculturation process is limited. In the present study, the role of acculturation and acculturative stress in predicting depression, anxiety, and alcohol use were examined, in addition to treatment barriers for this population. In the study, the participants completed the Acculturation Rating Scale of Armenian Americans (ARSAA), the Multidimensional Acculturation Stress Inventory (MASI), the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Barriers to Accessing Care 3 (BACE-3). A sample of hundred forty-seven Armenian American adults were recruited online. The results of the study found the level of acculturation to be unrelated to depression, anxiety, and alcohol use levels, although it was related to the country of origin and number of years lived in the United States. However, higher levels of acculturative stress were predictive of depression and anxiety levels. Depression was found to be predicted by acculturative stress and education, while anxiety was predicted by income, gender, acculturative stress, and religion. Gender was predicted by alcohol use, while age and marital status played a role in alcohol use levels. Additionally, age affected depression levels and gender impacted barriers to treatment. This study highlights the importance of acculturative stress as a link to depression and anxiety in Armenian Americans. Additionally, the country of origin plays a significant factor in the acculturation level and barriers to treatment. Furthermore, various sociodemographic factors were identified as important factors in explaining the variability in depression, anxiety, alcohol use, and barriers to treatment levels.","PeriodicalId":339096,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129476159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though research over the past two decades has provided many clarifications regarding psychopath, many unknowns still linger. The purpose of the study was to examine the association between psychopathic tendencies and intelligence. In the study, psychopathic traits were evaluated using the Antisocial Scale (ANT) of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) and intelligence was measured using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV). The sample was comprised of archival assessment data of clients from a community mental health clinic (N=30). Archival data consisted of subjects who endorsed difficulties with substance use and had elevated ANT scores. The results of the study found that subjects with higher education had lower antisocial scale scores. Additionally, individuals with higher antisocial scale scores had slower processing speed as indicated by the Processing Speed Index (PSI) subscale of the WAIS IV. This study suggests that individuals with psychopathic traits may have difficulty processing and encoding information quickly and accurately. Problems in processing speed may lead individuals to have emotional regulation issues and judgment impairments. The study highlights the importance of creating treatment protocols that address the cognitive processing issues of individual’s with anti-social or psychopathic tendencies. Moreover, the study results underscore the necessity of developing treatment regiments that can be easily followed and adhered to by this population.","PeriodicalId":339096,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133991601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
