We leverage structural equation models, integrating these constructs to examine the relative influence of forms of capital and stigma on happiness among a large sample of culturally and linguistically Chinese SGD populations. The present analysis uses a cross-sectional mixed-gender analytic convenience sample of SGD Chinese people (N = 8694). Structural equation models integrating multiple forms of capital (social, sexual, and economic) and stigma were fit, including models stratified by gender minority status. In the full sample, there was evidence of three significant pathways from the forms of capital on happiness. Social capital R2 = 0.09 and economic capital R2 = 0.04 have significant direct effects on Happiness. Stratified results are presented. Future studies should examine the interplay of minority stress, social, sexual, and economic capitals with culturally specific predictors to identify and refine appropriate frameworks for understanding happiness among SGD populations.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148757216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than conceptualizing borders as static lines or migration as a singular event, we conceptualize border violence as a transnational and temporal regime that governs mobility, produces precarity, and structures everyday life long after settlement. Participants' narratives reveal how: (1) structural exclusion and economic insecurity shape perceptions of risk and vulnerability across space and time, (2) how neighborhood-level precarity, securitization, surveillance, and constrained mobility undermine stability and well-being, and (3) how safety is negotiated through relational, symbolic, and material strategies within immigrant communities. By centering migrant' lived interpretations of safety and (in)security, this study advances a socio-structural framework that moves beyond individual or behavioral models of immigrant well-being and highlights border violence as a multiscalar condition that permeates immigrants' lives and shapes their everyday survival.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148760792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty-two refugees in Greece participated in a year-long project, with participants matched on basic characteristics and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Both groups received 1 year of free housing, while the experimental group also received coaching. Housing was treated as a confounding variable, with coaching as the experimental intervention. Data were collected at three phases: immediately after housing was provided, after coaching, and 3 months after coaching ended. For ethical reasons, the control group received coaching after data collection. Mixed methods, using the WHO-5 well-being questionnaire and qualitative interviews, were used for data analysis. Results showed that coaching significantly improved the well-being of the experimental group, while the control group's well-being remained unchanged. Additionally, refugee well-being of the experimental group continued to increase between Phase 2 and Phase 3. Interpreted through a community psychology lens, the findings suggest that the combination of structural (housing) and relational supports (coaching) contributes to the integration of refugees by enhancing refugees' sense of stability and by strengthening their empowerment and agency.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148710882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A nationally representative sample of 1674 adults (50% female; Mage = 48 years old; 61.4% White; 39% household firearm owners) and a sample of 834 youth in the Southeastern United States (53% male; Mage = 16 years old; 46% White) participated in surveys. Qualitative reasons for carrying included protection for self or others, exercising rights, carrying as default, and carrying in perceived unsafe situations. Reasons for not carrying included general lack of need to carry; belief that guns increase risk; external regulation; and discomfort with guns. Latent class analysis of adults and youth indicated distinct patterns of motivations for carrying and not carrying, with a Rights & Protection class carrying at the highest frequency.

Though informative, decolonial scholars have underscored the importance of contextualizing adverse mental health, particularly to explicitly link individual outcomes to the broader oppressive systems that produce them. For this article, I conducted a critical discourse analysis of 51 peer-reviewed journal articles to determine the extent to which social science researchers contextualize enforcement and its impacts, and to consider the implications of these efforts for how this problem is understood. I present four major tendencies of this sample: (1) the emphasis on contemporary U.S. politics, (2) the limited engagement with the topic of race and racism, (3) the weight it places on health risk, and (4) the use of diagnostic instruments and other measures. I argue that these tendencies work in tandem to portray immigration enforcement as a \"colorblind\" product of U.S. contemporary politics and construct a \"Latinx\" immigrant health crisis. This narrowly circumscribes the racialized, gendered, and classed effects of borders and reinscribes Otherness to the affected communities. Future research should leverage critical border scholarship to radically contextualize the immigration enforcement problem.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148700697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sense of community (SOC) often implies group membership, creating a SOC-diversity dialectic that may promote out-group exclusion. Based on Indigenous perspectives from Latin America, communality expands on SOC to include resisting oppression and promoting liberation, surpassing group membership borders. Communality builds collective power through service grounded in a deep responsibility for collective well-being. Our study analyzed 58 semi-structured interviews with Latinx people with ties to immigrant communities in California, exploring how they foster communality. We utilized relational consensus analysis and reflexive thematic analysis. Results highlight how participants build communality by serving their communities. Immigrant people organize to enact change in work and school settings, nurturing allyship and intersectional solidarity across identity borders and levels of fundamental risk. Their pursuit of collective thriving involved advocating to counter systemic prejudice and promoting life-affirming practices. Participants were committed to show up for the overall community, including those who may still exert power to harm. Amid increasing polarization and systemic hatred, interviewees nurtured solidarity entanglements to pursue justice and co-create conditions of thriving for all.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148618124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an individual pathology. The mixed-methods approach included measures of psychological distress (HSCL-25, HTQ-R; n = 7) and semi-standardized interviews based on the Torturing Environment Scale (TES; N = 18). Data triangulation mapped the interaction between communal, organizational, and (inter)personal levels. Quantitative results highlighted extreme levels of distress (100% of participants above clinical cut-offs), with depression strongly correlating with detention duration. However, triangulation with qualitative testimonies demonstrates that suffering is ecologically manufactured: The CCAC's institutional psycho-medical and humanitarian uncare produce this distress rather than merely failing to alleviate it. The study emphasizes that the CCAC functions as a pathogenic torturing environment designed to debilitate. Recognizing the observed symptoms as symptoms of the system itself, this paper argues for a shift from diagnosing the individual to diagnosing the pathological system-a shift that, from a liberation psychology perspective, demands nothing less than the abolition of the camp.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148547597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As institutions that claim to be sites of learning and inclusion, universities are fraught with contradictions as simultaneously sites of dispossession, exclusion, and control. To resist institutional violence, counterspaces emerge as fragile yet powerful sites where freedom dreaming is possible. Drawing from a migrant justice framework, we examine how counterspaces navigate and contest the neocoloniality of the university while creating alternative possibilities for belonging and collective care. Through a critically reflexive praxis, in this article, we grapple with these tensions that entangle us given our positionalities as faculty. We ask: How do we resist institutional violence and b/order regimes within the university to embody migrant justice? We engage this question through two case studies: the Cultural Identity Project, an Alaska Native Elder- and student-centered space for identity affirmation and belonging, and the Undocumented Students & Allies Association, a student-led space for solidarity and resistance. We illuminate how these counterspaces reveal the power of collective freedom dreaming while also being contained and co-opted by power. We argue that freedom dreaming deepens our praxis toward liberation and transformative futures.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148534761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
