Veterans Perspectives on the Psychosocial Impact of Killing in War
Based on focus group and individual interviews with 26 combat veterans, this qualitative thematic analysis examines the psychosocial and interpersonal consequences of killing in war. It describes the consequences that veterans identify as most relevant in their lives, including postwar changes in emotions, cognitions, relationships, and identity. Furthermore, it illustrates the linked psychological and social dimensions of those consequences—namely, how the impact of killing in war is rooted in the unique perspectives, actions, and experiences of individual veterans, as well as the social worlds they confront upon re...

The Major Contribution is a next step in the long history of advocacy for trans researchers ...

The Intersection of Race, Sexual Orientation, Socioeconomic Status, Trans Identity, and Mental Health Outcomes
The present study examined patterns in trans individuals’ multiple identities and mental health outcomes. Cluster 1 (socioeconomic and racial privilege; n = 239) was characterized by individuals who identified as trans women or cross-dressers, lesbian, bisexual, or questioning; had associates degrees; reported household incomes of $60,000 or more a year; and were non-Latino White. Cluster 2 (educational privilege; n = 191) was characterized by individuals who identified as trans men or genderqueer, gay, or queer; had a bachelor’s degree; reported household incomes of $10,000 or less a year; and were people of c...

Research With Trans Communities: Applying a Process-Oriented Approach to Methodological Considerations and Research Recommendations
In this article, we aim to provide readers with tools to critically consider decisions related to conducting research with trans populations. We first present the historical and contemporary contexts that shaped our approach to writing this article, and drawing from various social justice frameworks, we set forward our own critical framework to guide the discussion of research considerations with trans populations. We then move into discussing considerations for participant recruitment and sampling strategies, such as effective use of language in recruitment and study materials, consideration of research venues, and recrui...

A Content Analysis of Literature on Trans People and Issues: 2002-2012
This study provides a content analysis of more than a decade (2002–2012) of academic scholarship about trans people and issues. A total of 960 trans-focused publications were coded; there was a close balance of nonempirical (54%) and empirical (46%) publications. The analyses revealed that the literature on trans people and issues is growing, although many publications include trans people and issues nominally without substantive attention. The analyses also pointed to underutilized research designs and methodologies, the need for more clear assessment and more consistent reporting of demographic characteristics, and...

Attitudes Toward Psychotherapy Among Immigrant Russian-Speaking Jews From the Former Soviet Union
With immigrants and minorities less prone to commence counseling services, this study explored attitudes toward psychotherapy among immigrant Russian-speaking Jews living in the United States. A total of 211 individuals who self-identified as Jewish and as having personally emigrated from the former Soviet Union (henceforth referred to as "Russian-speaking Jews" for the purposes of this study) took the Beliefs About Psychological Services (BAPS) scale, a three-factor (Intent, Stigma Tolerance, Expertness), 18-item measure, assessing attitudes toward psychotherapeutic services. Exploratory results reveal that Russian-speaki...

Integrating Neuroscience Into Counseling Psychology: A Systematic Review of Current Literature
Discussion, Neuroscience Education, Integrating Neuropsychology, and Implications of Integration. Further subthemes are discussed, providing a richer description of the publication content focus. There is currently a small body of literature associated with this paradigm. However, the literature available provides evidence of a number of topic areas in which neuroscience can be integrated into counseling psychology. Recent publications may signal a reawakening of an earlier interest in the paradigm. (Source: The Counseling Psychologist)

A Latent Profile Analysis Investigating Factors Impacting Latino Adolescents Attendance in Treatment
In this study, we examined data from 200 families to investigate whether family functioning and adolescent psychiatric symptomatology were associated with differential attendance in a family-based or individually focused intervention for Latino adolescents. Latent profile analysis was used to identify families, and regression models were used to examine whether profiles exhibited differential attendance. Overall, three latent profiles were observed. The first described families where parents and adolescents reported discrepancies on psychiatric symptoms and family conflict. The second profile described families with elevat...

Minority Stress and Depressive Symptoms: Familism, Ethnic Identity, and Gender as Moderators
This study examined familism, ethnic identity (search and commitment), and gender as moderators in the associations between two minority stressors (perceived discrimination and acculturative stress) and depressive symptoms in college students of Mexican ancestry (N = 207) at a Hispanic-serving institution. Using hierarchical multiple regression, we examined main effects and interactions of minority stress variables with hypothesized moderators. Results indicated that familism buffered the positive association between acculturative stress and depressive symptoms. Ethnic identity search and commitment showed gender-specific ...

Under (and Over) Employment: Measurement and Correlates of Employment Discrepancy
Despite the many studies examining the impact of unemployment, underemployment has often been neglected in psychology. Moreover, problems exist with the measurement of underemployment, including categorization of continuous variables and neglect of overemployment. In the current study, we used a new method of measuring underemployment, polynomial regression with response surface mapping, to examine discrepancies between ideal and real hours worked—allowing for the continuous assessment of both under- and overemployment. We also used discrepancy scores to examine variables theorized to be related to under- and overemp...

The Career Adjustment Experiences of Women Early Career Psychologists
This study presents the constructivist grounded theory analysis of 22 in-depth interviews with women early career psychologists regarding their experiences of developing a career in psychology. Three primary spheres of influence on career adjustment emerged from the data: identity-based influences, experiential-focused influences, and outcome-oriented influences. These major spheres of influence are further refined into themes and subthemes that play a role in the career experiences of women early career psychologists. The impact of these themes on the women’s career trajectory is explored, and implications for resea...

"Aint I a Woman?": Perceived Gendered Racial Microaggressions Experienced by Black Women
This study explored the experience of gendered racial microaggressions (i.e., subtle and everyday verbal, behavioral, and environmental expressions of oppression based on the intersection of one’s race and gender) among Black women at a predominantly White university. A total of 17 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students participated in one of two semistructured focus group discussions. Using dimensional analysis, three core gendered racial microaggression themes were uncovered, each with two subthemes: Projected Stereotypes (expectation of the Jezebel, expectation of the Angry Black Woman), Silenced and M...
