The current study examined how historical, social, and political contexts in their country of origin and their host country have influenced firstgeneration Asian Indians' racialized experiences in the United States. We conducted nine separate focus groups with a total of 50 first-generation Asian Indian participants (20 men and 30 women). In a semistructured interview, participants were asked about the factors that influence their perceptions of and coping with race-based discrimination. The data were analyzed using grounded theory. A theoretical model was developed based on factors that influence Asian Indian individuals' conceptualizations of racebased discrimination, the variables that influence their coping strategies, and the insights gained in coping with discrimination. Pre-and postimmigration experiences seem salient to race-based experiences of Asian Indians in the United States. Attempts at making meaning of Asian Indian race-based

This study examined the potential mediating role of racism-related stress and the potential moderating role of generational status in the experience of discrimination for 210 South Asians in the United States. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the General Ethnic Discrimination Scale (H. Landrine, E. A. Klonoff, I. Corral, S. Fernandez, and S. Roesch, 2006, Conceptualizing and measuring ethnic discrimination in health research, Journal of Behavioral Medicine, Vol. 29, pp. 79–94), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (M. Rosenberg, 1965, Society and Adolescent Self-Image, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; E. Diener, R. A. Emmons, R. J. Larsen, & S. Griffin, 1985, The satisfaction with life scale, Journal of Personality Assessment, Vol. 49, pp. 71–75). The hypothesized structural equation model fit well for first- and second-generation South Asians, yet mediation and moderation were not supported. Perceived discrimination significantly related to perceived stress for both groups of South Asians. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the "lived experience" of Asian Indian (AI)-White couples in interracial marriages. Ten highly educated AI-White professional couples were individually interviewed about their subjective experience of being in an interracial marriage, the challenges and strengths of this marriage, and the potential role of culture in their marriages. Data were analyzed using the Consensual Qualitative Research methodology. Results indicated that the couples' marital experiences were influenced by a complex intersection of ecosystemic factors with significant psychological impacts. These findings highlight shortcomings in drawing simplistic conclusions regarding the success or failure of an interracial marriage and have important implications for theory, research, and clinical practice.

This study explored the relationship between the family environments and coping styles and the cultural values conflicts of 110 Asian Indian women. Results indicated that women perceiving supportive family environments had less sex role conflict. Additionally, avoidant and emotion-focused coping predicted high conflict regarding intimate relations and sex role expectations. Implications are discussed.Este estudio exploró la relación entre los entornos familiares y los estilos de afrontamiento y los conflictos en valores culturales de 110 mujeres de la India. Los resultados indicaron que las mujeres que perciben un entorno familiar que las apoya sufren menos conflictos con el rol de su sexo. Adicionalmente, el afrontamiento centrado en la evitación y las emociones predijo un nivel de conflicto elevado relacionado con las relaciones íntimas y las expectativas del rol de su sexo. Se discuten las implicaciones.
