“…Daily verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities, slights, and insults, whether intentional or not, are often found in Latinx communities, and some scholars argue that everyday discrimination is one of the most important issues that Latinx face (Sue & Sue, 2012). Rivera, Campón, and Herbert (2016) discuss and provide many examples of the diverse types of interpersonal and structural barriers that plague Latinx, including being denied services or resources, having their intelligence, cultural values, or language ability questioned and denigrated, and being treated like a perpetual foreigner.…”

Objectives: Understanding the experience of foreigner objectification is relevant given the possibility of ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and mistrust of immigrants in the United States. The present study examines main and interactive effects of objectification and English proficiency on developmental outcomes among immigrant mothers and children. Method: Our study includes 173 youth from Latinx backgrounds (52% female, Mage = 12.86 years, SD = .68; 87% United States-born) and their mothers (Mage = 38.26 SD = 5.65; all foreign-born) from emerging immigrant contexts. Results: Bivariate and regression analyses suggest that lower English proficiency was associated with more objectification for youth; whereas higher English proficiency was associated with more objectification for mothers. For youth only, English proficiency was positively correlated with American identity. For both parents and youth, foreigner objectification was linked with negative psychological outcomes (e.g., mothers' depressive symptoms, youths' low self-esteem). Conclusions: Being subjected to assumptions that challenge individuals' social status can be psychologically harmful. Nuanced developmental variation, and implications regarding the dual role of objectification and English proficiency are discussed.

“…In fact, the history of national shifts such as the deinstutionalization movement and the consumer movement are evidence that transformations in mental health care and society can occur on national and global levels spurred on by advocacy movements and the intention of people to speak up on the behalf of themself and/or others with mental illness (Mechanic & Rochefort, 1990;Tomes, 2006). As many psychologists are starting to join the movement to engage in diverse forms of advocacy and social justice action agendas, this is encouraging others to do so as well (Nadal, 2017;Sue & Sue, 2012;Vera & Speight, 2003). We suggest that there is a dire need and call for psychologists to be active in various forms in the public sector.…”

There is increasing recognition of the need for civil rights advocacy for people with mental illness, as basic human rights continue to be violated in mental health systems. Relatedly, an elevated call for recovery-oriented care creates new opportunities for psychologists to act as social change agents and advocates for patients in state hospital and community settings. Despite lack of specific preparation and training to take on this role, psychologists’ overall training places them in a unique position to advocate in many ways. This can be for individuals in the system (patients or staff), for the discipline of psychology, as well as acting as advocates for the continued growth of recovery-oriented approaches, more socially just practices in systems of care, and by engaging in public policy transformation. Psychologists, through creating cultural change, can work to advocate for a transformation from a medical model to a recovery-oriented care model, which focuses on building meaningful lives, autonomy, and rights of the individual. We discuss the many ways in which psychologists can act as advocates in state hospitals and community settings via diverse mechanisms, including at a policy level, the challenges that they encounter, and ways to overcome these. Future directions and ways to increase the effectiveness of advocacy efforts are also discussed.

“…For example, our findings suggest that general independence is negatively associated with life satisfaction among Korean college students emerging into adulthood. Most traditional therapeutic theories, generally developed in individualistic cultures, emphasize autonomy and independence, and promote psychological independence (Sue & Sue, 2012). Thus, culturally insensitive therapists may tend to perceive low general independence in interdependent relationships as pathological, which may lead them to devalue and discourage it in their clients (Yeh & Hwang, 2000).…”

Living up to Parental Expectations, Psychological Separation, and Life Satisfaction

This study examined the relationship between living up to parental expectations (LPE) and life satisfaction as well as the moderating effect of psychological separation on this relationship among South Korean college students. The participants ( N = 343) completed an online survey measuring the study variables. We divided psychological separation into conflictual independence (CI) and general independence (GI) and performed multiple regression analysis. The results revealed a positive association between LPE and life satisfaction. Our analysis also indicated that GI moderated the relationship between LPE and life satisfaction. Specifically, the positive association between LPE and life satisfaction was significant for participants with lower levels of GI. We discussed the significance of these findings and explained their implications for counseling settings in terms of cultural considerations.
