The Committee for Global Psychology (CGP) is pleased to present the 2024 American Psychological Association (APA) Award for Distinguished Contributions to the International Advancement of Psychology to Hector Betancourt, PhD. Dr. Betancourt, Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Loma Linda University and Professor Titular Adjunto at Universidad de La Frontera, Chile, exemplifies the best of international scholarship, mentorship, leadership, and service. Since receiving his PhD in social psychology from UCLA in 1983, he has worked as a faculty and led the efforts to build three doctoral programs in the United States and Chile. His research focuses on cognition-emotion processes; sociostructural, cultural, and psychological determinants of health behavior and social issues; and cultural biases and interactions in health care. Dr. Betancourt has an extensive history of service to APA and is a fellow of Divisions 1, 45, 48, and 52. He has served on the editorial boards of peer-reviewed journals based in the United States, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Spain, and his accomplishments have been recognized within the psychology community through many international awards. CGP especially wants to highlight the practical, long-lasting, and powerful impact of his work on psychology training programs and social issues internationally. CGP is delighted and honored to present this award to Dr. Hector Betancourt.

Shaped by preimmigration histories of British colonization and the caste system and the Indian diasporic postimmigration, experiences of physical and psychological displacement alongside racism in the United States contribute to the complexity of identity for this community. Although existing racial and ethnic identity models offer valuable frameworks, they may not fully capture the nuanced in-between spaces created by the intersectionality of ethnicity and race for Asian Indian Americans in the United States. Drawing from psychological critical race theory (CRT), Asian CRT, DesiCRT, and colonial mentality framework, this article proposes a unique identity model tailored to Asian Indian American experiences. Drawing from recent research, the model illuminates the dynamics of pre- and postimmigrant frictions in the negotiations and coping inherent in Asian Indian American identity formation. By using a multidimensional lens that captures tensions between ethnic identities based in sociopolitical histories and dominant societal categorizations and racism in the United States, this model aims to provide a more comprehensive and strength-based understanding of Asian Indian American identity development across the lifespan of multiple generations.
