“…Once ethnicity has been defined, the next task is to include appropriate constructs to help interpret and explain ethnic differences. Although most research handles ethnicity as if it were directly linked to outcome variables, ethnicity is better conceptualized as a distal variable that works through a variety of proximal variables to affect outcomes (Lopez, in press). Important proximal variables include minority status, socioeconomic status, acculturation, immigration history, and cultural factors.…”

“…or speculates about the role of particular cultural factors to explain findings post hoc. For meaningful contributions to knowledge about the role of culture in any particular phenomenon, a priori hypotheses about the relationship of culture to outcome should be developed and directly measured (Lopez, in press).…”

“…Interpreting findings in light of acculturation is important. As Lopez (in press) points out, acculturation is often used as a proxy variable for culture. However, low levels of acculturation may indicate either adherence to traditional culture or lack of exposure to the dominant culture.…”

At a time when ethnic minority populations are increasing in the United States, few psychotherapy studies are including minorities in their samples. To include ethnic minorities in psychotherapy studies, the complex construct of ethnicity must be carefully measured. In this article, practical advice is offered for conceptualizing, measuring, and interpreting ethnic factors in psychotherapy studies. Also discussed are identifying pathways from ethnicity to psychotherapy outcomes. Pathways that may influence ethnic differences in psychotherapy outcome include cultural factors, minority status, socioeconomic status, acculturation, and immigration experiences.

Opening Borders: African Americans and Latinos Through the Lens of Immigration

African-American and Ltino voter turnout during the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections hit record numbers. Polls show that the immigration debate influenced Latino voter turnout and preference. Presidential candidate Barack Obama's voiced support of comprehensive immigration reform strengthened his lead among Latino voters in 2008 and, once in office, his executive policy of granting temporary protection to DREAMers solidified his lead among Latino voters in 2012. Both elections showed the power that minority groups can exert when they vote in support of the same candidate. If the demographic changes continue as currently estimated, African Americans and Latinos will contribute in large part to the making of the United States into a "majority-minority" nation and will play an increasingly important role in local and national politics. Therefore, it is important for Americans to become more inclusive of all minority groups and to expand discussions of race relations beyond the Black-White paradigm and discussions about immigration beyond the Latino-White paradigm.As the polarized reactions to the Zimmerman verdict showed, there is much work to be done as the people of the United States continue the project of forming "a more perfect Union. "1 Honest assessments of how individuals and groups interact are crucial to opening borders and encouraging exchanges beyond socially constructed boundaries, like race, and racialized politics. African Americans and Latinos often compete with each other for political representation and other resources. In addition, the political consideration of immigration law and policy includes a racial dimension that is often camouflaged, but denial and silence about this reality do nothing to move the country forward. Therefore, immigration provides an opportunity to examine race relations and the potential for inter-group coalitions between African Americans and Latinos. For this reason, this Article also explores, through the lens of immigration, the role that race may play in the attitudes of African Americans and Latinos toward each other. One of the goals of this Article is to spark a candid dialogue that promotes a better understanding of race and its impact on interactions between African Americans and Latinos in the United States.
