“…Mexican Americans have consistently been described as placing strong emphasis on personal responsibility in the welfare of relationships with family and friends (Hofstede, 1980;Martinez, 1986;Roll et al, 1980;Sabogal et al, 1987).

“…Like Asian Indian culture, Mexican American culture has been described as being much more focused on interpersonal relatedness than the majority American society (e.g., Hofstede, 1980;Roll & Brenneis, 1975;Roll, Millen, & Martinez, 1980). Therefore, the present study attempted to determine whether Mexican Americans would likewise rely more on interpersonal considerations and less on justice concerns than Anglo-Americans.…”

Kohlberg's theory of moral development regards justice concerns as developmentally more advanced than interpersonal considerations. Men tend to score as more morally developed than women on existing measures. Gilligan suggested that this is because women rely more on "care" considerations in moral dilemmas, whereas men rely more on "justice" issues. Snarey noted similar bias in the cross-cultural realm. The authors studied moral judgment in Mexican American (n = 40) and Anglo-American (n = 40) college students. On the care measure, as expected, females scored higher than males (p < .05), and Mexican Americans scored higher than Anglo-Americans (p < .01) Contrary to expectation, no differences were obtained on the justice measure. The role of socialization in moral development is discussed.For more than three decades, Kohlberg's theory of moral development has been the most salient and researched (e.g., Kohlberg, 1976Kohlberg, , 1981Kohlberg, , 1985Kohlberg & Kramer, 1969). The theory incorporates a number of assumptions; one assumption is that as development progresses, interpersonal considerations are subordinated to abstract justice considerations in moral reasoning. Furthermore, Kohlberg's theory of moral development is posited as universal, applicable to men, women, and people of all cultures.

“…"Personalismo refers to a valuing of and responsiveness to the personal dimension of relationship, including task-oriented professional relationships such as in psychotherapy" (Organista, 2000, p. 289). The common practice of instantly focusing on the problem in therapy can be perceived as impersonal by Latino clients, particularly if it is at the expense of the social lubrication needed to build confianza, or trust (Roll, Millen, & Martinez, 1980). Group homogeneity (participants of similar culture, age, and mental status) was another factor that enhanced therapeutic outcomes (Franklin & Kaufman, 1982).…”

Group therapy has been recommended as a treatment for depression among Latino women. Thus, the literature published between 1980 and 2004 was systematically reviewed to explore cultural and therapeutic factors relevant to group therapy for depressed Latino women. The specific aims were to: (1) determine the type of studies on this topic, (2) identify successful forms of group therapy for this population, (3) identify therapeutic factors to consider while dealing with this population in group therapy, and (4) explore guidelines for conducting culturally sensitive groups for this population. Cognitive behavioral group therapy is recommended, yet few experimental studies have explored culturally relevant variations of this treatment. Culturally relevant therapeutic factors were mentioned in all studies.

“…An enormous gulf exists between the priorities and perceptions of many scientists and most AI elders. AIs tend to have less intrinsic interest in the task of assessment and respond more on the basis of the client-examiner relationship in contrast to European Americans [65][66][67].…”

Challenges to the recognition and assessment of Alzheimer's disease in American Indians of the southwestern United States

Little is known about Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related neurodegenerative diseases in American Indian (AI) populations. To provide appropriate health care to elder AIs, whose population is expected to increase dramatically during the next 50 years, it is imperative to attain a better understanding of the interaction of culture and disease in this underserved population. Raising awareness in the AI population regarding the nature of dementia as it compares to normal aging and the development of culturally appropriate instruments to detect and stage AD are essential for future health care efforts. Barriers restricting clinical service to this population include historical factors relating to access to health care, cultural beliefs regarding aging, demographic diversity of the population, competing epidemiologic risk factors, and lack of proper assessment tools for clinicians.
