“…Research on minority populations documents the importance of both the family and culturallyrooted religious/spiritual beliefs in providing instrumental and emotional support (Williams et al, 1995(Williams et al, , 1999. Ties to family are especially important in African American, Hispanic, and Asian cultures.…”

As it has become more widely recognized that increasing numbers of people are living to progressively older ages, it is important to understand the nature of individual traits that promote resilience and welt-being in later life, to describe how these traits develop, to identify the factors that threaten and undermine their maintenance, and to elucidate the mechanisms that support and promote their growth. To have a knowledge base upon which to build intervention programs to improve and maintain well-being in later life, it is necessary to build understanding of what the multiple pathways are that lead to resilience, how these pathways may change, and what can be done to stop or forestall maladjustment and decline. Progress on these issues requires a greater understanding of process. In this article, we highlight theoretical areas of research on resilience and well-being that have received relatively little attention in previous work with older adults. We also identify unresolved methodological challenges associated with the measurement and analysis of within-person phenomena and elaborate on the implications of these challenges for process research in aging populations. Finally, we discuss future intervention directions to advance knowledge of resilience and positive health in later adulthood.

“…Although the research is not clear on whether Latina females internalize or externalize as a way of coping, research suggests that compared to African American females, White females internalize behaviors more often, which leads to depression (Brown, Sellers, Brown, & Jackson, 1999;Hughes, 2003;Williams & Harris-Reid, 1999;Williams, Takeuchi, & Adair, 1992). Overall, the research shows a consistent connection between mental health issues and delinquency in females.…”

The criminal justice system has recognized the need to focus on the delinquent behavior of females; however, the research being conducted focuses on the differences between male and female delinquency and assumes that females are a homogeneous group. In addition, research on Latinas that offers insight into factors that impact their delinquency is limited. The present study uses a nationally representative data set to assess the differential impact of risk indicators on Latina and White female delinquency. The findings highlight the need for race-specific research. Implications for delinquency prevention and intervention programs are discussed.

“…An extensive literature exists that documents a litany of real and perceived discrimination in the lives of other historically oppressed groups and the mental and physical health consequences they suffer as a result of this reality (Carter 2007;Clark et al 1999;Krieger et al 1993;LaVeist 1996;Williams & Harris-Reid 1999;Williams 1996). William Smith, Tara Yosso and Daniel Solorzano (2011) liken the everyday extreme stress people of colour face to the stress soldiers face in battle.…”

This paper investigates the ways in which Indigenous Australians respond individually, and collectively, to racial vilification by means of social media sites. Introducing the concept of "shared recognition" this paper describes the collective sense of anger and frustration experienced by Indigenous people when traumatic events in the public domain act as reminders of ongoing colonialism. Three examples are explored to demonstrate collective trauma as a result of racist and discriminatory acts that are made public, and the ways in which social media is utilised by Indigenous Australians to make sense of and cope with trauma.
