The current study describes the cultural adaptation process of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) for SA American women to enhance its validity, applicability, and cultural relevance for this underserved group. The research team consulted with participant experts (N = 24) and research experts (n = 4) to create the modified measure. Some items were changed to include SA references; others were added to assess culturally specific body image and eating pressures, such as colorism and religious fasting. Notable feedback from participant and research experts that was incorporated into this measure included: separating weight and shape items, changing the response format of the behavioral frequencies, and incorporating items assessing subjective binge eating episodes. This new measure - the EDE-Q-South Asian American Women (EDE-Q-SAAW) - included 53 items prior to psychometric validation. To the best of our knowledge, few - if any - previous cultural adaptations of ED measures have added new items to tap into culturally influenced constructs that likely impact ED presentations. Ultimately, this tool can enhance understanding of the nature, presentation, and cultural variation of EDs in SAs. This study is also one of the first to demonstrate how other clinical scientists can culturally adapt measures without translation.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13089959/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147724431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding language identity construction in a new environment among Asian immigrants, a racial/ethnic minority population, is important for addressing health disparities and inequities. This study examined how language identity could be defined by 1.5 generation Asian and Asian American immigrant young adults, and how using multiple languages influenced their sense of belonging in the United States. Additionally, we investigated how languages influenced the way they interact with others and see themselves, and what language use contexts and characteristics helped them to establish their language identity. Participants were defined as those who arrived in the United States from Asia with their 1st generation parents when they were 5-17 years old, have lived for at least 12 months, and are now aged 18-29. We conducted 8 focus group discussions with 24 participants (2-4 in each group) residing in the San Francisco Bay Area in California and analyzed verbatim transcriptions using Dedoose. We report on three themes identified in the analysis: 1) languages played a key role in forming personal and professional relationships that impacted identities; 2) language identity was distinct from language proficiency; and 3) multilingualism shaped their ethno-racial identity and sense of belonging. Future research will pursue one-on-one in-depth interviews and longitudinal studies to subsequently understand individualized experiences and expand the scope of the target population to provide generalizability to other 1.5 generation Asian and Asian American immigrants.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13003703/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chinese dual-earner immigrant parents, especially low-income families, are likely to send their newborns back to China to be raised by their extended families. Prior research has not yet sufficiently investigated the reasons for separation and how affected families perceive the benefits and costs, especially among those who have reunited years after separation. Based on one-on-one qualitative interviews (N = 48 in 24 parent-child dyads) and supplemental screening survey data (N = 142), we identified common reasons for separation, including involuntary reasons (e.g., financial difficulties and lack of child-rearing time) and voluntary reasons (e.g., building bonds with Chinese culture). In addition, we used thematic analysis for the 24 parent-child dyad interviews and explored the impact of early and prolonged parent-child separation (i.e., benefits and costs) perceived by the youth and their primary caregivers. Benefits of separation included improved financial and living situations and enhanced bonding with cultural origins. Costs they perceived included impaired relationships within nuclear families, substitute caregivers spoiling children, and introducing language barriers. These findings shed light on the development of policies and initiatives aiming to support Chinese immigrant families pre- and postseparation.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12806181/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145999431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study are to (1) create and validate measurement scales of surface level Filipino cultural values and (2) examine its associations with depressive symptoms and substance use in a sample of Filipino Americans. We analyzed data from the Midwest Longitudinal Studies of Asian American Families (MLSAAF) collected in 2013 of Filipino American parents (n=376). We implemented factor analyses to create and validate the scales and ordinary least squares and logistic regressions to examine the associations between Filipino cultural values and depressive symptoms and substance use. Factor analyses produced five scales: hiya (dignity or shame) from parent, hiya in general, utang na loob (gratitude or solidarity), pakikisama (companionship), and bahala na (determination). Hiya from parent was positively associated with depressive symptoms and hiya in general was negatively associated with depressive symptoms and alcohol use until passing out. The findings demonstrate the nuanced and complex means that Filipino cultural values have influenced health outcomes in Filipino Americans. This study is the first of its kind to quantitatively measure surface level Filipino cultural values. Future studies should consider using the measurement scales to better understand how intergenerational trauma and resilience through cultural values influence other health beliefs, behaviors, and outcomes in Filipinos in the Philippines and in the diaspora.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":"16 1","pages":"2-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12341386/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144849356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted with transcripts from three semi-structured focus groups and five parallel-format individual interviews. Inductive coding and iterative theme development resulted in four themes describing the types of needs (basic, care-related, mental health, relational trust) that should be met for CKV patients with metastatic cancer, which may fall through the gaps when the healthcare system and patient's differing cultural contexts collide. In conclusion, greater involvement of psychosocial care specialists with cultural expertise is essential to promote patients' and families' well-being, prevent care disparities, and better support the healthcare team. Systemic changes that increase workforce diversity, reduce language and insurance barriers, and allow healthcare professionals to build relational trust with patients, are needed to improve quality of life for CKV patients with metastatic cancer.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":"15 3","pages":"233-245"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11487619/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data included twenty-four recordings of clinical encounters between oncologists and four CA and eight NHW women with a new breast cancer diagnosis between 2013 and 2015. Using an interactional sociolinguistics approach to discourse analysis, we examined how CA and NHW patients and their oncologists initiated conversations about patients' emotions. We also categorized oncologists' responses by whether oncologists turned toward, turned away, or remained neutral to patients' emotions. When bringing up emotions with oncologists, NHW patients brought up social and personal life topics, whereas CA patients only brought up biomedical topics. We also observed that oncologists initiated discussions about emotions with only English-speaking patients of both racial groups. There were no observed differences in how oncologists remained neutral to or turned away from both CA and NHW patients' emotional expressions. When oncologists turned away from patients' emotions, they did so to solve administrative or biomedical problems. In conclusion, the findings suggest that CA patients' racial backgrounds and the language spoken during the encounters may influence how patients and oncologists initiate discussion about patients' emotions. Furthermore, the findings suggest that oncologists remain neutral and turn away from CA and NHW patients' emotions in similar ways.

Thus, guided by the Health Belief Model, we developed a multi-component intervention to enhance Korean American women's knowledge and beliefs about screening and to increase screening uptake. The intervention group (N=341) received a culturally-relevant cancer education program and navigation services. The control group (N=335) received a similar program on cervical cancer risk and screening, along with information about free/low-cost screening sites. Women's knowledge and beliefs were measured at baseline and post-program, and screening behavior was assessed at 12-months post-program. It was hypothesized that the intervention would lead to positive changes in health beliefs and knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, which were then evaluated as potential mediators of the intervention on screening behavior. From pre- to post-program, the intervention group reported significantly greater increases in knowledge (p<0.01) and perceived risk (p=0.02) and significantly greater decreases in perceived barriers (p<0.001) compared to the control group. However, changes in knowledge and health beliefs did not mediate intervention effects on screening behavior. Use of navigation services was associated with greater odds of obtaining screening (OR=3.15, 95% CI=2.28-4.01, p<0.001) and attenuated the significant effect of group assignment (intervention vs. control) on screening behavior to non-significance.
