“…Spencer et al (2009) examined the relationship between ethnic social capital and intimate and nonintimate violence among 326 Asian and Pacific Islander American in Hawaii. The results showed that having familiarity with one's cultural norms such as language led to less involvement in violent behavior.…”

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 youths; studies most commonly included emerging adults ages 18-25; cross-sectional study design was employed more often than longitudinal design; the top contributor to the 2014 review was Stephen Chen, who authored the highest number of papers included; and the Asian American Journal of Psychology generated the highest number of publications for this review. 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-sectional versus longitudinal study designs. We are also the first to recognize the top authors and journal outlets in this year's review.The 2014 review of Asian American psychology includes 316 articles, more than were included in any of the past five annual reviews. A confluence of factors has contributed to the growth of scholarship on Asian American psychology. First, there is the size of the population: Asian Americans represent 5.6% of the United States population; of all racial groups in the United States, Asian American...

“…Although this phenomenon still needs further exploration for Southeast Asian youth, the bicultural skills and competence training programs are recommend as they may serve to strengthen both a youth's Southeast Asian and Asian American identities, which may be a protective factor to prevent bicultural stress or to assuage the impact of it. In addition, as many studies suggest that the influence of the acculturative process among minority youth may be mediated by family dynamics (Guerrero, Hishinuma, Andrade, Nishimura, & Cunanan, 2006;Smokowski et al, 2009;Spencer et al, 2009), when serving Southeast Asian youth, it is recommended to assess the levels of acculturation of the whole family, as differences in acculturation between youth and their parents have been shown to exist and may potentially contribute to familial stress and exacerbate violence in the home. Supportive family dynamics have been cited as one of the most important protective factors against many youth problems and should be emphasized when working with Southeast Asian families.…”

There is growing evidence of a high prevalence of domestic violence (DV) in Southeast Asian families living in the United States. Southeast Asian children and adolescents who witness DV are at great risk of developing psychological and behavioral problems. Despite these risks, many Southeast Asian youth show resilience and positive adaptation. Being bicultural has been associated with several positive outcomes among this population. This study hypothesized that Southeast Asian youth who have witnessed DV (n = 59) were less resilient than those who have not (n = 23). In addition, among those who have witnessed DV, bicultural youth were likely to be more resilient than highly Asian or highly westernized youth. This study used regression and t test analyses. The preliminary results confirmed both hypotheses. The conclusion of this study discussed clinical implications, limitations, and recommendations for future studies.

This study examines the participation of African Americans on social networking sites (SNS), and evaluates the degree to which African Americans engage in activities in the online environment to mitigate social capital deficits. Prior literature suggests that compared with whites, African Americans have less social capital that can enhance their socio-economic mobility. As such, my research question is: do African Americans enhance their social capital through their participation on SNS? I use nationally representative data collected from the Pew Internet and American Life Project to explore the research question. The results suggest that the online environment is potentially a space in which African Americans can lessen social capital deficits.
