Using data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey (N = 25,703), this study investigates whether sleep problems mediate the relationship between food insecurity and mental health outcomes-specifically depressive and anxiety symptoms-and whether marital status moderates this relationship. The findings indicate that sleep problems partially mediate the effects of food insecurity on depressive and anxiety symptoms. In addition, the impact of sleep problems on these mental health outcomes is less severe among married individuals compared to their unmarried counterparts. However, marital status does not moderate the relationship between food insecurity and sleep problems, nor the relationship between food insecurity and mental health outcomes. The analysis of conditional indirect effects reveals a more pronounced mediation effect of sleep problems among unmarried individuals. These results suggest a partial protective role of marriage in mental health and underscore the importance of addressing sleep problems, particularly among unmarried individuals, in understanding the interplay between food insecurity, sleep problems, and mental health.</p>","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144008016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The length of online reading serves as a mediating factor that connects these two aspects. Furthermore, education plays a moderating role. For both young-old and middle-oldest women who have not received formal school education, there is a significant correlation between internet usage and an increase in their egalitarian gender ideology.

Using semi-structured interviews with 19 participants conducted throughout the fall and winter of 2022, this study explores how the lives of graduate student mothers were affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and shift to remote learning. For some, the pandemic negatively affected their progress due to a loss of resources and increased unpredictability.

Results reveal an overall negative causal link between conflict and social capital accumulation with significant changes in membership in social networks.

Notably, nail salons, as an Asian-dominated multi-billion-dollar industry, reflect the confluence of media portrayals and policy structure of racialization. With the racial triangulation framework, we examined the news discourse of nail salons in New York (2015–2016) and California (2020–2022), and therefore, identified a four-step racialization of Asians that underlines media-regulation nexus, that is, Othering, Discriminating, Regulating, and Consolidating. Specifically, the general stereotypical portrayals of Asian Americans, for example, Model Minority and Yellow Peril, generate discriminatory images of certain Asian groups (e.g., business owners and immigrant workers) through covert language and frames, further motivating top-down regulatory measures that aggravate the economic and political burdens on the whole Asian community and thus solidifying the current racial dynamics. Altogether, this study heightens our sensitivity to the varied forms of (re)production of anti-Asian racism and underlines the legacy of White supremacy and colonialism in symbolic constructions and the legal regime.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"62 2","pages":"152-164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
