Surveys02:16

Surveys

17.1K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Longitudinal Studies

561
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Longitudinal Research

13.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

349
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

1.8K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

12.7K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Summary

This study found that a multidimensional acculturation model fits Latino individuals who completed substance abuse treatment (SAT). This model was linked to fewer days of alcohol and illicit drug use post-treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Addiction research
  • Cultural psychology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Substance abuse treatment (SAT) models may not adequately address the needs of Latino populations, potentially leading to higher relapse rates.
  • There is a need for substance use models that incorporate multiple dimensions of acculturation.
  • Acculturation plays a significant role in substance abuse among minority populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test a multidimensional acculturation model in Latino individuals who have completed SAT.
  • To investigate the relationship between multidimensional acculturation and substance use (alcohol and illicit drugs) in the past six months.

Main Methods:

  • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed multidimensional acculturation model.
  • A sample of 131 participants (Mage=36.15, SD ± 10.5, 86.3% male, 48.1% non-U.S. born) were interviewed upon completion of SAT.
  • Structured regression analysis examined the association between acculturation and substance use days.

Main Results:

  • The SEM analysis supported the multidimensional acculturation model, indicating adequate fit for the studied population.
  • Multidimensional acculturation was found to be negatively associated with the number of days using alcohol in the past six months.
  • The findings suggest acculturation is a key factor in substance use patterns.

Conclusions:

  • A multidimensional approach to acculturation is supported for understanding substance abuse among Latinos.
  • Integrating acculturation into substance abuse treatment models may improve outcomes for Latino individuals.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the nuances of acculturation and its impact on substance use and recovery.
