“…Attitudinal familism (referred to as familism for the duration of the article) appears to have benefits for dealing effectively with life's challenges (Cardoso & Thompson, 2010;Carlo et al, 2016;Hern andez & B amaca-Colbert, 2016). Supporting this, attitudinal familism has been found to relate to higher adjustment and well-being in adolescents and to be protective against poor mental health in both Latino youth and adults (i.e., Campos, Ullman, Aguilera, & Dunkel Schetter, 2014; Corona et al, 2017;Valdivieso-Mora, Peet, Garnier-Villarreal, Salazar-Villanea, & Johnson, 2016;Zeiders, Updegraff, Umaña-Taylor, McHale, & Padilla, 2016;Zeiders et al, 2013).…”

Ego‐resiliency is an enduring psychological construct reflecting how individuals‐adapt to environmental stressors, conflict, and change which is linked to positive adjustment. Ego‐resiliency has not been examined in Latino youth, despite their high risk for mental health problems; nor have cultural precursors to ego‐resiliency been examined. Given these gaps, we examined whether familism values (supportive, obligation, and referent) were associated with ego‐resiliency and, in turn, depressive problems in Latino adolescents across two time points (N = 123, mean age = 11.53). Results indicated that supportive familism was associated positively with ego‐resiliency and negatively with depressive problems. Ego‐resiliency negatively predicted depressive problems across time, controlling for prior levels, suggesting that ego‐resiliency may have long‐term effects on depressive problems in Latino youth.

Colleges and universities welcome new students every September. After the intense study in high school, the new university life will make the new students feel excited and embarrassed. They are about to face and meet new life, new ways of learning, new classmates and teachers, and so on. Since the new things and environment are very different from those for the new students before they entered the school, we need to pay attention to their psychological changes and promptly channel their psychological problems, otherwise it will cause a lot of psychological discomfort, and maybe it will have some negative impact on the development of various aspects of the follow-up of the new students. It can be seen that it is especially important to grasp the psychological characteristics of students who have just entered the school and to help them develop positive psychological quality, because it not only lays a solid foundation for the mental health education work of colleges and universities, but also promotes the all-round development of students.

“…[ 51 ] suggests that the ethnic identity may affect the relevance of cultural stressors such as discrimination. For example, in Latino population, familismo , which is described as a connection with relatives, may help Latin students to deal with stressful situations [ 52 ]. In other ethnic groups, other strategies are chosen.…”

Background: The aspects of cultural identity and its impact on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have been un-derstudied. There are different opinions, ranging from the idea that culture does not affect the symptoms of this condition to the idea that cultures with high religiosity may have more severity of OCD. Also, the concept of OCD has considerably var-ied across history and cultures, from being considered an issue related to lack of control of blasphemous ideas, and a part of anxious issues, to the description of complex neurobiological systems in its causation.Objective: The aim of this review was to address OCD as a well-characterized disorder with a proposed neurobiological ba-sis which may or may not have variations depending on cultural diversity. The question that was asked in this review is whether or not there are cultural differences in the manifestations of the OCD symptomatology and which factors of cultural diversity have a major influence on such manifestations along with the differences among some cultures regarding OCD is-sues, where the difference among countries has also been highlighted.Methods: A review of the literature was conducted that includes the following words: obsessive-compulsive disorder, cul-ture, cultural identity and religion in a period of 10 years.Conclusion: Cultural variations do not seem to differ from symptomatic clusters of OCD, which may be indicating that a se-ries of adaptive behaviors is evolutionarily evolving to be constantly altered, perhaps by well-determined pathophysiological mechanisms. Some aspects that have been related to some dimensions of OCD symptomatology are religion and religiosity, affecting the content of obsessions and the severity of manifestations. Properly evaluating the education background, access to health services, food, and the genetic structure of populations, using investigational instruments sensitive to these cultural elements, will increase our understanding of the importance of culture on OCD and its treatment.
