The United States is experiencing a surge in international graduate students, particularly from Southeast Asia. These students bring a wealth of knowledge and fresh perspectives, significantly enriching the U.S. economy, academia, and scientific research (Popadiuk & Arthur, 2014). Their contributions extend beyond the academic realm, fostering…

The Asian American population is expected to grow to 46 million by the year 2060. Historically seen as a monolithic group, there are more than twenty subsets that make up the Asian-American demographic. The five Chinese and five Indian participants in this study belong to the top two Asian-American origin groups. This exploratory mixed-methods…

This article centers the counternarratives of four Asian American motherscholar teacher educators presented as letters to our children in which we apply tenets of AsianCrit to parenting and education, with racial realism at the forefront. Using Asian Critical Theory and motherscholar research to frame our analysis, themes within and across the…

This research study explores the transition experiences of multilingual Asian immigrant students as they navigate their first year of college. Focusing on counterstories, this study seeks to shed light on the unique challenges, strategies, and successes of these students in crossing cultural, linguistic, and academic borders. Through a qualitative…

Objective: Language brokering (LB) is an act of interpreting and translating that immigrants often engage in to help their family members who may not be fluent in the English language. The study examined whether adhering to Asian American values (i.e., values enculturation) could moderate the association between LB and internalizing symptoms…

Background/Context: There is currently a dearth of research on Asian American civic engagement broadly, and the scholarship on Asian American youth is even more limited. The lack of research contributes to opacity in understanding how Asian Americans fit into the civic landscape. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study: This study…

This study acknowledges and contextualizes the work of first-generation immigrant South Asian women faculty by examining how their bicultural negotiation impacts their experience in the U.S. Academy. This qualitative study included 17 tenured or tenure-track faculty from different US regions, and across multiple four-year university types,…

Asian American college student success has traditionally been framed from a perspective of successful academic performance and degree completion that perpetuates the model minority stereotype and overlooks the actual challenges they may experience in college. Many bicultural Asian American students manage the individual and family acculturation…

This study underscored the importance of addressing the well-being of college students of Asian descent, because these students had higher rates of depression and lower positive feelings about their ethnic group compared with students of European descent, as measured by the Affirmation subscale of the Ethnic Identity Scale. Affirmation mediated…

Female faculty of color need mentoring opportunities that recognize, validate, and nurture their perspectives and experiences as assets--rather than liabilities--to their work. Among studies of faculty of color, there have not been specific studies focused on intragroup mentoring for Asian American female faculty. This collaborative…

This study examined the potential moderating influences of behavioral and values acculturation and enculturation in a sample of 113 Asian Americans. Findings from regression analyses revealed that acculturation to European American cultural values, alone and in interaction with perceived racism, was related to less psychological symptoms, whereas…

Acculturation among Asian Americans has become an increasingly important construct for researchers and professionals in psychology, particularly for the college-aged population. Acculturation has been studied extensively and linked to an array of indices, including how acculturation interacts with different coping. This study used Schwartz et al.…

Although Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority in the USA with over 18 million in population, and have a long history, they remain underrepresented in sport and physical education. As we are living in a world that is becoming more diverse and multicultural, it is important to learn about the cultural meanings and significance of sport…

This study examined the predictive utility of Lent and Brown's social cognitive model of educational and work well-being with a sample of Asian American college students, indexing well-being in terms of academic and social domain satisfaction. In addition, we examined the role of acculturation and enculturation as culture-specific predictors of…

This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify acculturation profiles. A three-profile solution fit the data best, and comparisons on demographic and psychosocial outcomes as a function of profile yielded expected results. The findings support using LPA as a parsimonious way to model acculturation without anticipating profiles in…
