“…An acculturation score was calculated by summing all item scores, with higher scores indicating higher levels of psychological acculturation to Anglo culture and midrange scores indicating biculturalism. A study with African American participants found internal consistency for the PAS of .92 (Ghorpade et al 2006). Coefficient alpha for this study was .91.…”

This study examined family-oriented stressors on acculturative stress in 83 African American college students attending a predominately White university. Results showed that family pressure for participants not to acculturate, pressure to maintain ethnic group language, perception of Acting White, and acculturation level were related to higher acculturative stress for participants. After controlling for acculturation and general stress, family pressure to maintain the ethnic group's language and perception of Acting White accounted for a statistically significant proportion of the variance in acculturation stress. The findings emphasize the need to recognize culture-specific stressors of college students. Implications for mental health providers are discussed.

“…Further, 26.8% of the total sample ( n = 53 families) were immigrants to the United States. Ethnic minority families were oversampled because they are both understudied and because some immigrant communities have been found to be quite familial and religious, providing a rich context for studying the nexus of families and faith (Ghorpade, Lackritz, & Singh, ; Perry, ). The racial and ethnic composition of the sample was as follows: 34 African American families (17%), 24 Asian American families (12%), 15 Middle Eastern families (8%), 14 Latino families (7%), 10 Native American families (5%), 4 East Asian families (2%), and one Pacific Islander family (1%), with the 96 remaining families (48.5%) identifying as racially White.…”

Exploring Relational Reconciliation Processes in Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Families

Objective To explore personal and interpersonal processes that encourage relational reconciliation in nonclinical religious families. Background Few studies have addressed what reconciliation is and when it is beneficial. Although intergroup reconciliation has been well documented, little research has addressed relational reconciliation in families. We focus on relational reconciliation pertaining to more normative and typical relational hurts and offenses that nearly all families experience, rather than severe offenses that might be best addressed in a clinical setting. Method Using systematic qualitative methods, in‐depth interviews from a nonclinical, exemplar sample of 198 religiously, ethnically, and geographically diverse mothers, fathers, and adolescents were coded and analyzed. Research questions focused on what circumstances led to a need for reconciliation, what motivated families to reconcile, how families reconciled, and what benefits families received from reconciling. Results Families were reportedly motivated to reconcile (a) because of their religious beliefs, (b) because they could see a “bigger picture” beyond the immediate conflict, and (c) because they felt that they had been recipients of God's love and forgiveness. The process of reconciliation involved (a) praying to God for help (spiritual processes), (b) admitting mistakes and taking responsibility (personal processes), (c) forgiving and being forgiven (relational processes), and (d) working to fix problems and make amends (practical processes). Conclusion Consistent with previous research, these processes reportedly fostered self‐healing following relational distance and led to positive relational outcomes. Implications When self‐healing does not occur, clinicians, pastoral counselors, and family life educators may play an important role in helping individuals and families develop and incorporate the transformative processes of reconciliation identified in our data.

“…All six items measure intrinsic religiosity, that is, the degree to which an individual adopts religious beliefs in his/her life (Allport and Ross, 1967). The current study adopted only intrinsic religiosity measures because (1) they can provide excellent measures of religiousness and (2) the use of combining intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity (i.e., the extent to which an individual commits to his/her religious organization through attendance or religious giving) measures have not produced methodologically fruitful results (Ghorpade et al ., 2006; McDaniel and Burnett, 1990). The reliability of the religiosity items (Cronbach's α ) for those who practice religion is 0.97 (see Appendix).…”

This study investigated the relationship between religious affiliation and level of religiosity and consumer product-and store-switching behavior among South Korean consumers. Comparisons in switching behavior are reported for three different denominational groups prevalent in South Korea (Buddhism, Catholicism, and Protestantism), non-religious affiliated respondents, and among persons exhibiting different levels of religiosity. Religious affiliation, including non-affiliation, was not found to be significantly related to switching behavior. However, consumers reporting high levels of religiosity were found to be significantly less likely to engage in product purchaseand store-switching behaviors than those reporting lower levels of religiosity. Consumers reporting high levels of religiosity are also less likely to engage in product purchase switching behavior than non-religious affiliated consumers (i.e., no religiosity consumers). This pattern held across denominations. Statistically significant differences in switching behavior were not obtained between consumers reporting low levels of religiosity and those respondents who expressed no religious affiliation.
