“…Expressive-dependent information appraisal suggests that the responses of an individual are shaped by similar sociocultural traits and experiences shared by a category of people that set apart one group of people from another, who are embedded within similar geographic environments [ 10 , 13 , 19 ]. Similar sociocultural traits and experiences embedded within comparable geographic environments result in behavioral responses that are shared by a category of people that set apart their group from another [ 28 , 29 ]. These factors within the geographic environments have been implicated to account for differences or associations between individuals from that of a different one [ 30 ].…”

“…The experiences encompassing within the child’s environment, which include the sensory events and stimuli, possibly shape their responses consequently. Previous researchers suggested that differences in beliefs, practices, behaviors, culture, parenting practices, physical landscapes, and sociocultural and economic aspects can explain these differences [ 10 , 13 , 19 , 28 - 31 ]. However, the experiences related to the sensory information within a particular geographic environment may be different.…”

BackgroundThe ability to regulate the response to sensory stimuli has been associated with successful behavioral patterns necessary for daily activities. However, it is not known whether a child’s ethnicity and environment can influence autonomic regulatory mechanisms.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the role of ethnicity and environment in the regulation of responses to sensory stimuli in children.MethodsIn this study, we intend to recruit 128 children from different ethnic groups or environment contexts as follows: (1) 32 typically developing Chinese children living in Hong Kong; (2) 32 typically developing Filipino children living in Hong Kong; (3) 32 typically developing Filipino children who are living in urban areas; and (4) 32 typically developing Filipino children who are living in rural areas in Philippines. Autonomic activity (heart rate variability [HRV] and electrodermal activity [EDA]) will be measured and recorded using Polar H2 heart rate monitor and eSense GSR skin response sensor. Autonomic activity (HRV-low frequency, HRV-high frequency, and EDA) at different conditions between pairwise groupings will be tested using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). All significant levels will be set at P ≤.05.ResultsWe present the research protocol of this study, as well as a short discussion of the preliminary findings from our pilot data, with consequent power and sample size analysis that informs the appropriate sample needed to test our hypothesis.ConclusionsThis study will increase the understanding on the role of individual differences related to a child’s ethnicity and environment in the regulation of response to sensory stimuli. The findings of this research may further shed light on the evaluation and treatment planning for children across and within cultures.

“…Cook, Heppner, and O'Brien (2005) recognized the complexities of understanding race and gender within an organizational structure and stated, "At the individual level, one of the most important but poorly understood variables influencing interactions with the environment is that of race or gender identity" (p. 171). Racial discrimination at work has had deleterious consequences for African American women and has been associated with high levels of psychological strain and low levels of satisfaction (Brown et al, 2000;Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2013;Robinson & Howard-Hamilton, 2000).…”

This study examined the influence of racial identity and mentoring experiences on occupational stress among African American women in health care (N = 76). The women were surveyed about their occupational stress (role stress, psychological strain, and personal resources), racial identity, demographic information, and mentoring experiences. Results indicated that racial identity was negatively related to role stress and psychological strain, and level of education was closely related to personal resources. Mentoring was not found to have a significant impact on occupational stress as hypothesized. The implications for enhancing occupational satisfaction were discussed in relation to advocacy for career development professionals.

“…During the 1990s and 2000s, there was a shift in discussion from racial identity to ethnic identity in social psychological literature. Since race was a social construct based on physiological characteristics and perceived hereditary differences, researchers moved toward investigating ethnicity, which can be described as social groups that are based upon similar cultural, national, and religious tradition (Allport, 1954;Robinson-Wood, 2017). Ethnicity is derived from a shared group image that has a common ancestry, language, and political, social, religious, and economic values (Baruth & Manning, 2016;Evans, Forney, Guido, Patton, & Renn, 2010).…”

ProblemRelationship satisfaction is a broad construct that has been extensively researched.However, there are gaps in the literature pertaining to relationship satisfaction in minority and interracial couples. This present study examines the extent of the relationship between ethnic identity and adult attachment to relationship satisfaction in White, Black, and Interracial couples. MethodParticipants completed surveys that measure a) ethnic identity, b) adult attachment, and c) relationship satisfaction. Several statistical analysis methods were used to answer two research questions. These methods included descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA, and Path Analysis. Six hundred and seven adults in the United States general population were studied. Of the participants, 360 were in white same-race relationships, 200 were in black same-race relationships, and 47 were in interracial relationships. ResultsThe one-way MANOVA indicated that there were no significant differences between White, Black, and Interracial couples in their experience of ethnic identity, adult attachment, and relationship satisfaction. Path Analysis indicated that the original model, which features all the subscales of the ethnic identity, adult attachment, and relationship satisfaction scales, was not a good fit. The revised model showed the best fit for the data.It suggested that a component of relationship satisfaction, the degree in which couples engage in activities with each other, was influenced by a sense of belonging to their particular ethnic group, an active search into their own ethnic identity, feeling comfortable with being close with their partner, and the degree of perceived emotional affection within the couple dyad. White, Black, and Interracial couples differed on the extent that these variables influenced the degree that couples engaged in activities with each other. ConclusionsThis study shows that ethnic identity and adult attachment are correlated with the degree in which couples engage in activities with each other, but they do not account for all the components of relationship satisfaction. These findings have implications in the fields of counseling and research psychology and add to the understanding of how individuals in White, Black, and Interracial couples relate to each other.
