“…Verbal expression of negative emotions may be perceived by Asians as a counterproductive response that triggers social discomfort, whereas stoicism may help maintain harmony by avoiding the imposition of one’s feelings on others (Ino & Glicken, 1999; Kim, Atkinson, & Umemoto, 2001). OST was therefore modified in two ways to better address potential concerns over inadequate emotional control.…”

This study is a 6-month follow-up of a randomized pilot evaluation of standard one-session treatment (OST-S) versus culturally-adapted OST (OST-CA) with phobic Asian Americans. OST-CA included seven cultural adaptations drawn from prior research with East Asians and Asian Americans. Results from 1-week and 6-month follow-up show that both OST-S and OST-CA were effective at reducing phobic symptoms compared to self-help control. Moreover, OST-CA was superior to OST-S for several outcomes. For catastrophic thinking and general fear, moderator analyses indicated that low-acculturation Asian Americans benefitted more from OST-CA than OST-S, whereas both treatments were equally effective for high-acculturation participants. Although cultural process factors (e.g., facilitating emotional control, exploiting the vertical therapist-client relationship) and working alliance were predictive of positive outcomes, they did not mediate treatment effects. This study offers a potential model for evaluating cultural adaptation effects, as well as the mechanisms that account for such effects.

“…Most of the work on African Americans and disability has come from Howard University (Asbury, Walker, Belgrave, Maholmes, & Green, 1994; Asbury, Walker, Maholmes, Rackley, & White, 1992; Belgrave, 1998) and has been supported by NIDRR. The literature on Asian Americans with disabilities is mostly clinical (Bae & Kung, 2000; Choi & Wynne, 2000; Ino & Glicken, 1999; Jones, Atkin, & Ahmad, 2001; Serafica, 1999; Shah, 1997), with one recent empirical study (Parkin & Nosek, 2001). There are two studies on American Indians with spinal cord injury (Krause, Coker, Charlifue, & Whiteneck, 1999, 2000) and a book about American Indians in rehabilitation (reviewed by Marshall, 2001).…”

Although the field of disabilities studies incorporates psychology within its interdisciplinary purview, it embodies a distinct perspective consonant with the new paradigm of disability. This perspective is contrasted with that of psychology, and the place of disability within psychology is examined. Although psychology has begun to embrace diversity, disability has remained marginalized. Four areas are presented in this article: (a) the foundational ideas of disability studies, (b) training in disability within psychology, (c) the paradigms of disability reflected in research on disability, and (d) future research directions.

“…This notion of "conserving energy" and "suppressing pleasure seeking desires", especially "sexual desires", as a way of preserving health is a hallmark of Taoist and Buddhist philosophies. [30,39] A participant said, "Some said being sexually active, lack of control, or sexual indulgence make one prone to prostate cancer." Another commented, "Some may not care about having prostate enlargement.…”

“…[28] The holistic concept is an important idea in traditional Chinese culture that affects the preventive health and disease management behaviors of Chinese individuals. [29] Taoism promotes the belief that nature has the ultimate authority over the course of one's life and existence [30] and that one is not in complete control of nature nor in one's destiny. The Taoist belief that health is a state of spiritual and physical harmony with nature [29] is contrary to the Western belief that health is determined by one's efforts.…”

Objective: To effectively plan and provide culturally appropriate cancer education and screening services for low income Chinese immigrants, accurate disaggregated data are very much needed in understanding their cultural beliefs, attitudes, and practices toward cancer screening and education. This study explored the views of medically underserved Chinese immigrants in the United States and assessed their beliefs and attitudes toward the cause and prevention of breast, cervical, and prostate cancer, and their cancers screening behaviors. Methods: Guided by both the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue and the Health Belief Model, an exploratory research methodology was used. Narrative data from in-depth interviews and focus groups were studied qualitatively. The data analytical procedure was based on immersion in the narrative data, writing memos, sorting data into codes and categories, and comparing themes across interviews. Thirty-nine low-income Chinese men and women participated in 14 in-depth interviews and 4 focus groups. Results: Findings provided evidence of strong influence of Chinese culture on beliefs and attitudes toward cancer, as well as perceptions regarding the cause, risk, susceptibility to, and seriousness of cancer. Participants reported both positive and negative perception toward cancer. Common misconceptions about the causes of cancer included: excessive sexual activities, having a certain blood type, cancer being "contagious", and women ignoring their reproductive or natural functions by using birth control or not breastfeeding. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of cultural appropriateness and relevancy in the development and implementation of cancer promotion and cancer screening interventions for the Chinese immigrant population.
