“…Specifically, Asian women experience gendered racial discrimination, body image and physical appearance, marital attitudes, role responsibilities and expectations, and oppressive messages from mass media (Ahn et al, 2022). One study found that empowering AAPI women to construct their own voice using narrative inquiry was helpful when navigating racial, cultural, and gendered stereotypes (M. Lee et al, 2022). The researchers used narrative-analytic methods to identify themes of empowerment through reclamation of stereotypes, resilience in navigating binaries, and strategic management of gender roles.…”

Women in the perinatal period face a unique set of mental health challenges as they navigate both physical changes and emotional transitions. Perinatal mental health has been linked to child outcomes such as social-emotional development, cognitive development, and physical growth. In addition, women of racial/ethnic minority groups are confronted with barriers to accessing services and are therefore less likely to utilize mental health services. While international attention has recently focused on the experiences of women of color in the perinatal period, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women are largely overlooked. This review explores the intersections of perinatal and Asian American mental health literature, including access barriers, acculturative stress, battling stereotypes, and discrimination. Each of these factors should be understood within the context of the historical treatment of Asian Americans. Special considerations for developing programs designed to support and empower AAPI women during the perinatal period include utilizing a collaborative approach, integrating traditional values, and conceptualizing challenges within the context of each socioecological level (e.g., individual, family, and systems level). This article centers on the experiences of cisgender AAPI women, and further research is needed centering nonbinary birthing folks. To develop mental health services and programs with cultural humility, providers should center both individual and community perspectives and approach conversations from a position of transparency and openness. Clinical Impact StatementThis article celebrates the diversity of the Asian population and advocates for the development of affirming perinatal psychological services specifically for Asian American and Pacific Islander women. Additionally, it provides suggestions for providers hoping to uplift this group while ultimately working toward decolonization of the mental health system.

“…Because the craze of acquired influence theory has given scholars the opportunity to study gender roles from a cross-cultural perspective, the related research has been fruitful. First, the "regional culture" study found that socioeconomic and regional-ethnic culture are the main sources of the social environment influencing the development of gender roles (Minsun et al, 2022). For example, in the late 20th century, it was found that parents in high socioeconomic areas had more positive gender role parenting, which promoted the full development of children's gender roles and mathematical skills.…”

“…In the 21st century, cross-cultural gender studies have developed rapidly. Relevant studies are limited to exploring gender role differences between developed and lagging regions within countries (Moreira et al, 2016), and the development of cross-cultural gender roles internationally has attracted more attention (Minsun et al, 2022). For example, the study found that Eastern collectivism and Western individualism define masculinity and femininity differently.…”

The Development of Gender Roles: From Two-Parent Families to Single-Parent Families with One Gender Role Missing

As the number of single-parent families is increasing, the issue of structural changes in single-parent families is gaining more attention. The impact of single-parent families on children's gender role development due to the absence of one parent is worth exploring. Gender roles are shaped by the interaction of innate and acquired factors. Innate factors such as sex hormones and genome lay the basis for gender socialization. In contrast, acquired factors are dominated by the family environment (e.g., parent-child interactions, sibling relationships, family structure, etc.) and permeated by the social environment (e.g., regional culture, media culture, etc.), which together influence gender role development. To explore the in-depth role of family factors in gender role development, especially the impact of changes in family structure, this study explored five databases (four English and one Chinese) and identified 1573 studies; 112 studies were included in a systematic analysis. To summarize relevant studies, there are two main arguments for the "effect theory" and "no effect theory" on family structure changes and children's gender role development. Moreover, the results that support the effect theory account for more. Studies holding significant effects indicated a higher prevalence of masculine traits and undifferentiated types in children of single-parent families and found that the gender configuration of single-parent family members influences children's gender role development. However, a few studies have also concluded that changes in family structure have little effect on children's gender roles. For this reason, the article proposes three reasons for the discrepancy and highlights future research breakthroughs.

“…Such exposition also permitted insight into the multilayered relationship between internal experience and the sociohistorical context. One study, for example, discussed the experience of gender roles across cultural contexts in bicultural Asian American women (Lee et al, 2022). Another considered narrative identities of teachers from the German Democratic Republic (Farouk & Camia, 2022) who spent half of their lives teaching before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the other half afterward.…”

The three authors of the 2015 American Psychologist "The Promises of Qualitative Inquiry" article assess the extent to which these promises have been realized in the first decade of Qualitative Psychology. In this review, we first highlight the ways in which contributions to the journal have markedly expanded the palette of legitimate methodologies for addressing important psychological questions. Augmenting traditional nomothetic research, such practices are acutely sensitive to issues of contemporary social and political significance and to the voices of marginalized and underrepresented subgroups. With respect to the flourishing of psychological science more generally, journal contributions have expanded domains of education, relations with other disciplines, and the dimensions of philosophic inquiry into the nature of knowledge. Finally, with respect to psychology's relationship to the broader public, journal contributions have expanded the reach and efficacy of the discipline's communication, and offered a model of care-or working with-in its orientation to those otherwise "under study." As substantial as these achievements have been, significant spaces for improvement are also noted, particularly with respect to creatively expanding the range and variety of practices characterizing qualitative inquiry.
