“…We continued using Wei's (2014) categories, but given the larger number of articles for this topic area published in 2014 compared to 2013, we divided one category, help seeking and service utilization (Wei et al, 2014), into two: help-seeking attitudes (n = 11; e.g., P. Y. and service utilization (n = 12; e.g., Anyon, Ong, & Whitaker, 2014), while keeping the category of culturally competent interventions (n = 7; e.g., Huang et al, 2014).…”

This 2014 review of Asian American psychology is the sixth review in the series. It includes 316 articles that met the inclusion criteria established by the past five annual reviews. Featured articles were derived from three sources: 137 were generated via the search term "Asian American" in PyscINFO, 111 were generated via a search for specific Asian American ethnic groups, and 32 were generated via author searches of articles that met the inclusion criteria. The top primary topic was health and health-related behaviors, the most frequently employed study design was crosssectional, and the most studied Asian American ethnic group was Chinese. This year's review includes information on the target population of the primary topic, the age range and developmental period of participants, and whether the study design was cross-sectional or longitudinal. It also identifies top authors and journals contributing to the 2014 annual review. These new features reveal that the most common target population of the primary topic was Correspondence concerning this article should be sent to Su Yeong Kim, Department of Human Development and Family Sciences, 108 E Dean Keeton St., Stop A2702, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712. su.yeong.kim@utexas.edu.

Keywords review; Asian Americans, 2014The annual review of Asian American psychology facilitates a comprehensive, year-to-year understanding of the field by summarizing the major research topics and methodology used in Asian American psychology. Comparison of multiple annual reviews reveals past, current, and emerging trends. Illuminating these trends can be informative for new and experienced scholars alike, who can utilize the reviews to synthesize past and current research. This will help them identify emerging trends in order to plan future research that will make a meaningful contribution to scholarship on Asian American psychology. The present annual review uses the format established by the past five annual reviews, with the addition of new features for future annual reviews to consider. Like past reviews, the current issue presents major trends by primary topic, methodological design, and participant characteristics (e.g., average age and ethnicity). This review contributes a developmental perspective by including age range and developmental period in our categorization of participants, and by considering cross-...

“…A series of studies document that mental health disparities in Asian Americans (ASAs) can be attributed to differences in multiple social determinants, including social status, service access, quality of living environment, and social and human capital [2-5]. However, how migration and acculturation experiences influence parenting and contribute to ASA children's mental health disparities is not well understood.…”

Contrary to the “model minority” myth, Asian American children, especially those from low-income immigrant families, are at risk for both behavioral and emotional problems early in life. Little is known, however, about the underlying developmental mechanisms placing Asian American children at risk, including the role of cultural adaptation and parenting. This study examined cultural adaptation, parenting practices and culture related parenting values and child mental health in a sample of 157 English speaking Asian American immigrant families of children enrolled in early childhood education programs in low-income, urban neighborhoods. Overall, cultural adaptation and parenting cultural values and behaviors were related to aspects of child mental health in meaningful ways. Parents’ cultural value of independence appears to be especially salient (e.g., negatively related to behavior problems and positively related to adaptive behavior) and significantly mediates the link between cultural adaptation and adaptive behavior. Study findings have implications for supporting Asian American immigrant families to promote their young children's mental health.

“…Depressive symptoms were associated with negative parenting (including belief in the use of corporal punishment and practice of more harsh/inconsistent parenting), and these negative parenting practices/beliefs were associated with poor child physical, mental health and school functioning. Findings suggest cross-cultural and international consistency particularly regarding developmental mechanisms for optimal child health and development, and suggest that existing evidence-based family interventions used in HICs targeting similar parenting and child outcomes [32, 56] may be applicable in Uganda and other LMICs.…”

“…For parenting measures, we selected measures that have been used with diverse cultural groups from parenting literature [29–32]. The Luganda version of parenting assessments were translated based on the recommended method suggested in the literature (i.e., applying translation and back-translation, and using a team review approach to resolve any discrepancies between the versions and to determine whether the translated material is appropriate and meaningful for English and Luganda speakers) [33, 34].…”

Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health challenges in low- and middle-income countries. However, the mechanisms of parental depression on children’s development are understudied in these countries. This study examined the prevalence of parental depression, contextual predictors of parental depression, and the associations between parental depression, parenting and children’s development in one of the Sub-Saharan African countries-Uganda. Three hundred and three Ugandan parents of young children were recruited and interviewed. Results indicated that about 28 % of parents were depressed. Contextual factors such as low educational attainment, food insecurity, low social support, and high number of children were associated with parental depression. Structural equation modeling also indicated that Ugandan parents’ depression was associated with less optimal parenting, and higher problem behavior, lower social competence, and poorer physical health and school functioning in children. Results provide several cross cultural consistency evidence in associations among parental depression, parenting, and child development.
