MRHS demonstrated measurement invariance across race, gender, and religious background. Latent correlations, average variance extracted, and hierarchical regression analyses provided evidence for MRHS's construct validity. MRHS subscales had excellent internal reliability estimates and adequate 4-week test-retest reliability estimates. Limitations of the present study and implications for future directions are discussed. MRHS can be used in descriptive or exploratory research to assess radical hope among Black, Asian, and Latinx Americans. We call for further validation of MRHS with other populations and settings.

Participants included 204 Chinese therapist trainees and their 1,214 clients who provided data for 11,198 sessions. Before every therapy session after intake, clients reported their symptom severity level and OE; after every session, clients reported their perceived working alliance quality. The latent curve model with structured residuals (Curran et al., 2014) was utilized to disentangle the between-person (average client differences) and within-person (session-by-session fluctuations) effects and test the temporal directionality between the three variables of interest. Results showed that, at the between-person level, clients who began treatment with stronger positive OE tended to form stronger alliances and report lower symptom distress at the beginning of therapy; and clients who sustained or increased their OE during treatment showed greater alliance growth and faster symptom reduction over time. At the within-person level, a cyclical pathway emerged where higher OE before a session temporally led to higher working alliance rating after that session, which subsequently led to higher OE at the next session; however, results did not support the OE → working alliance → symptom mediation model, nor the bidirectional associations between client OE and symptom relief.

This study used cultural stress and stress process theories to examine (a) the relationship between four dimensions of acculturative stress (English competency pressure, Spanish competency pressure, pressure to acculturate, and pressure against acculturation) and psychological distress, (b) the ability of general life stress to mediate the acculturative stress dimension-psychological distress relationship, and (c) the ability of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) exploration and commitment to moderate the relationship between acculturative stress and psychological distress through general life stress. Latinx adults (<i>n</i> = 126) completed online self-report measures of acculturative stress, perceived general life stress, ERI, and psychological distress. Moderated mediation found evidence of full mediation for English competency pressure and Spanish competency pressure and partial mediation for pressure to acculturate. In addition, for English competency pressure, ERI exploration significantly moderated the relationship such that moderate and high ERI exploration augmented the indirect effect, and for Spanish competency pressure, ERI commitment moderated the relationship such that moderate and high ERI commitment buffered the indirect effect. The findings provide evidence that acculturative stress dimensions are associated with Latinx psychological adjustment through unique direct and indirect pathways. For Latinx adults, ERI exploration and commitment may function as cultural individual difference variables that confer risk and protective factors for stress processes.

Guided by Cheng, Kim, et al. (2021) tripartite model of collective psychosocial resilience, we further hypothesized that COVID-19-related racism might be a catalyst for AANHPIs developing critical consciousness to resist racism. AANHPI adults (n = 448; Mage = 26.43) were asked how their lives were impacted by anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic and completed survey measures on sociodemographic factors and critical consciousness. We employed mixed methods triangulation with data transformation. Five themes were identified from open-ended responses using structured tabular thematic analysis: personal experiences of racism reenacting the perpetual foreigner narrative in a broader historical context of structural racism; vicarious racism reflecting the collective nature of identity-based harm; impacts of racial trauma on mental health and identity; heterogeneity of racialized experiences across AANHPIs; and cultivation of collective resilience and resistance through critical consciousness. Themes were quantified and related to measures reflecting critical consciousness dimensions, specifically critical reflection (perceived inequality, egalitarianism), critical motivation, and critical action using linear regression. Racial trauma impacts and cultivation of collective resistance were associated with perceived inequality. Vicarious racism was associated with critical motivation. Personal experiences of racism and cultivation of collective resistance were associated with critical action. To the extent that racial trauma was experienced collectively, AANHPIs fostered critical consciousness of discrimination as a common fate and were pulled toward community caretaking, solidarity, and collective action.

Despite its widespread use and promise, questions remain regarding the CoBRAS's dimensionality and the validity of its scores across race and gender. This preregistered study evaluated the CoBRAS's psychometric properties using full-information factor analysis within an item response theory framework. Measurement invariance across race and gender was evaluated at both the scale and item level using multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis and differential item functioning tests. Data were drawn from four cross-sectional samples (Ntotal = 4,010). Participants who identified as Asian, Black, or White and cisgender were included in the main analyses to optimize sample size for comparisons. Factor analytic results supported a bifactor structure comprising a general dimension of color-blind racial attitudes with three specific dimensions. A reduced 18-item set excluding two misfitting items performed comparably to the full-scale overall, with modest fit gains in race-group models. Configural invariance was supported across race and gender. However, metric and scalar invariance were not supported across racial groups, suggesting that individuals from different racial backgrounds may interpret and respond to CoBRAS items differently. Across gender, the 20-item scale demonstrated configural and metric invariance but not scalar invariance, whereas the reduced item set demonstrated full configural, metric, and scalar invariance. The findings highlight the value of advanced psychometric methods in enhancing the precision of measures of sociocultural phenomena across diverse populations.
