“…To comprehensively measure different types of direct discrimination, two measures were used. The Subtle and Blatant Racism Scale for Asian American College Students (SABR-A; Yoo et al, 2010) was developed specifically for Asian Americans and has been found to be associated with anxiety and depression (Takeda et al, 2021). The PEDQ-CV (Brondolo et al, 2005) was developed for use across ethnic groups, validated in a multiethnic Asian sample, and has been found to be associated with anxiety and depression (Kwok et al, 2011).…”

Because Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first emerged in China, anti-Asian rhetoric has led to significant hate crimes toward Asian Americans. Focusing primarily on East and Southeast Asian Americans in the majority-White Midwest, the present study addressed two research questions: (a) Are the frequency or type of incidents of ethnic-racial discrimination (ERD) among East and Southeast Asian Americans different during COVID-19 than those experienced prior to COVID-19? and (b) To what extent is ethnic identity a protective factor in the face of ERD? A sample of 380 (44% women, Mage = 39.39 and SD = 3.24) East and Southeast Asian American adults recruited through Facebook groups of the Ohioan Asian American community responded to an online survey about ethnic identity, direct and indirect ERD—both currently and retrospectively about experiences before the pandemic—and rated their current depression and anxiety symptoms. Repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) indicate higher reports of both direct and indirect ERD during the pandemic compared to the time prior to the pandemic. Both direct and indirect ERD during the pandemic were associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression. Further, results indicated that ethnic identity moderated some of these associations, though in an unexpected direction: At higher levels of ethnic identity, the effect of ERD on anxiety was stronger than at lower levels of ethnic identity. The findings are discussed in the context of anti-Asian rhetoric during the pandemic, with important implications for the mental health of Asian Americans.

“…Como se ha podido observar en otras investigaciones, este es un fenómeno también recurrente dentro del colectivo LGTBIQ+ dado que las experiencias de victimización que sufren estas personas no solo ocurren en un entorno en concreto, sino que suelen repetirse en distintos ámbitos y lugares de su vida (Garaigordobil y Larrain, 2020). Asimismo, los resultados indicaron que las sintomatologías interiorizadas descritas en este estudio se asocian positivamente entre ellas, por lo que se concluye que las personas del colectivo tienden a desarrollar síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y estrés a la vez (Takeda, Rosenthal y Arora, 2021). Finalmente, todos los tipos de apoyo social se relacionaron positivamente, señalando que las personas LGTBIQ+ que encuentran apoyo en un entorno es más probable que lo encuentren también en otros contextos (Shiu et al, 2016).…”

The present study analyses the moderating effect of different types of social support in the relationship between bullying, cyberbullying and workplace victimization, and internalizing symptoms in LGBTIQ+ individuals. 262 people from LGBTIQ+ collective participated (ages between 18 and 77; M= 29.83, SD= 12.41), who completed measures via Internet of bullying, cyberbullying, workplace victimization, family support, support from friends, support from a special person, and symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. The results showed that support from friends moderated the relationship between bullying and anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as the relationship between workplace victimization and depression symptoms. On the other hand, family support moderated the relationship between bullying and anxiety symptoms. Regarding cyberbullying, none of the types of social support moderated the relationship between cyberbullying and internalizing symptomatology. Findings of this study highlight the moderating role of family and friend support when internalizing symptoms of LGBTIQ+ people who are victims of bullying and/or workplace victimization.

“…In reviewing conceptual and methodological considerations for Latinx mental health research, Torres et al (2018) noted that Latina female adolescents made more suicide attempts than Latino male adolescents or non-Latina White girls. Discrimination faced by those with multiple marginalized identities (e.g., someone who is both a woman and Black) is not comprised of mutually exclusive experiences pertaining solely to gender and ethnoracial status respectively; intersectional discrimination is common (Scheim & Bauer, 2019; Takeda et al, 2021). Moreover, it negatively affects the mental health of women within ethnoracial minority populations (Barile et al, 2017; Vines et al, 2017).…”

Objective: Psychotherapy access, utilization, retention, and effectiveness require continued improvement, especially for groups for whom availability and outcomes may be currently suboptimal, including ethnoracial minorities. Further, ethnoracial status’ intersectionality with other identity variables (e.g., gender) may relate to structural barriers to care and effectiveness of care, an area in need of further research. Method: The Florida State University Psychology Clinic, a low-cost population-facing treatment center, has routinely collected clinically relevant information on all consenting clients, including severity of clinical presentation at intake and over time, number of therapy sessions attended and of no-shows, premature termination, demographics, etc. A large sample of clients (N = 2,076; 57% women; 67.9% non-Hispanic White) on whom we collected and entered at least some data, though missing data were common, has accrued. We conducted chi-square tests to examine treatment utilization gaps, analysis of variance to measure differences in intake severity, and analysis of covariance to measure differences in treatment effectiveness. Results: Based on the percentages of ethnoracial minority groups with mental disorders in the broader local community, we are falling short in outreach to Black clients, and when we do engage them, we retain them suboptimally. Once well engaged, however, results across groups suggest few differences in outcomes by ethnoracial status, gender, or their intersection. Ethnoracial match was associated with more sessions attended in Black people. Conclusions: Psychotherapy effectiveness has the potential to be optimized for everyone, and a promising direction in this regard is the case conceptualization of a cultural formulation interview and cultural humility mindset.
