Results for "Laboratory of Multicultural Processes and Mental Health"

The Multicultural Psychology Lab is dedicated to research on multicultural processes in personality development and functioning and to the application of the APA Cultural Competency Guidelines to assessment and treatment. The lab is committed to improving access to treatment for underserved populations, and to conducting and disseminating culturally competent treatment interventions for minority populations. Furthermore, it also seeks to encourage undergraduate students from underrepresented ethnic/racial groups to pursue careers in social science research and mental health service. Currently, the research interests are focused on developing culturally sensitive treatments for African American and Latino populations, understanding the effects of intergenerational acculturation gaps in immigrant populations, as well as the dynamics of borderland culture .
