“…In addition to engaging with culture, cultural connectedness has also been investigated as a resilience factor. In one study, American Indian adults were administered the cultural connectedness scale, which measures connectedness across three subscales: i) identity, ii) traditions, and iii) spirituality (Snowshoe et al, 2015) and a measure of mental health and well-being. The findings indicated a positive link between cultural connectedness and mental health and well-being, with American Indian adults who reported feeling more connected to native culture also reporting better mental-health and well-being (Masotti et al, 2020).…”

American Indians and Alaska Natives suffer from disproportionately high rates of chronic mental and physical health conditions. These health inequities are linked to colonization and its downstream consequences. Most of the American Indian and Alaska Native health inequities research uses a deficit framework, failing to acknowledge the resilience of American Indian and Alaska Native people despite challenging historical and current contexts. This scoping review is based on a conceptual model which acknowledges the context of colonization and its consequences (psychological and health risk factors). However, rather than focusing on health risk, we focus on protective factors across three identified domains (social, psychological, and cultural/spiritual), and summarize documented relationships between these resilience factors and health outcomes. Based on the scoping review of the literature, we note gaps in extant knowledge and recommend future directions. The findings summarized here can be used to inform and shape future interventions which aim to optimize health and well-being in American Indian and Alaska Native peoples.

“…In addition, future cross-cultural work on the BESSI should also consider the historical, political, and cultural contexts in which SEB skills are measured (Mahfouz & Anthony-Stevens, 2020;Tiwari & Ruedas-Gracia, 2023). For one, current conceptualizations and definitions of SEB skills, created and validated in the US and Europe, may miss relevant SEB strengths such as spirituality and cultural connectedness (Hodge et al, 2015;Snowshoe et al, 2015). In addition, manifestations of SEB skills that are admired and encouraged in some contexts may be inappropriate in others depending on cultural norms and environmental constraints (Tiwari & Ruedas-Gracia, 2023).…”

Social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) skills matter for individuals’ well-being and success. The Behavioral, Emotional, and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI) uses 192 items to assess 32 specific SEB skills across five broad skill domains (Soto et al., 2022). The present research developed three short forms of BESSI-192 and explored their measurement properties, predictive validity, and cross-cultural comparability. We found that BESSI-96, BESSI-45, and BESSI-20 largely captured the psychological content of the full BESSI-192 measure, retained a robust multidimensional structure, and demonstrated adequate reliability. At the domain and facet level, the BESSI short forms showed patterns of associations with external criteria that were similar to BESSI-192 and preserved most of BESSI-192’s predictive power. The BESSI short forms also demonstrated measurement invariance between the primarily US-based and German adult samples. We conclude by discussing contexts in which the short forms may be useful for researchers and practitioners.

“…Several studies have pointed to the negative health effects of residential schools on the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (Wilk et al, 2017). Simultanously, other research has illustrated the positive health effects of cultural connectedness among Métis and Inuit youth (Snowshoe et al, 2015), and of cultural continuity as a protective factor for suicide (Chandler & Lalonde, 1998) and other negative health outcomes (Oster et al, 2014).…”

Towards a Haudenosaunee developmental science: Perspectives from the Two Row Wampum

The Two Row Wampum belt represents a treaty between the Haudenosaunee and Dutch about how the two nations would coexist with each other in the context of settler colonialism. The oral tradition of the Two Row Wampum states that the Haudenosaunee would travel down the river of life in a canoe containing their ways of being and knowing, while the Dutch would travel alongside them in a ship with their own orientations to the world. However, the original principles of the Two Row Wampum contrast with the colonial realities of the Haudenosaunee. In an application of the Two Row Wampum to developmental science, in which the river is the life course, mainstream developmental science is the ship, and Haudenosaunee developmental science is the canoe, I use the Principles of the Two Row Wampum to propose a Haudenosaunee perspective of the field. I compare this with how mainstream developmental science dominates the field, marginalizing various Indigenous developmental sciences in a manner similar to the Betrayal of the Two Row Wampum. Though I recommend that mainstream developmental science returns to the principles of the Two Row Wampum, I demonstrate that Indigenous developmental sciences operate beyond the constraints of developmental psychology by centering Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies to promote Indigenous futures.
