The present study examines whether social comparison mediates the relationship between problematic social media use and depression symptoms in 102 college students in the US. The participants completed measures of problematic social media use, social comparison, and depression symptoms. The results indicated a positive relationship …

Promoting Belonging And Equity Through Course Content., Primrose Igonor

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

As our education systems become increasingly diverse, it is crucial for “diverse” students to see themselves reflected in the course materials they consume as this may lead to higher persistence, retention and overall student success. It is also vital for “non-diverse” students to gain a better understanding of the experiences of others particularly as they navigate a world which is much more diverse and global minded than ever before.

Racial And Implicit Bias: Diagnosis Disparities In The African Diaspora: Implications For Counseling Practice, Jahaan Abdullah

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

Disparities in healthcare are far from uncommon. Research demonstrates there are disproportionate diagnoses of psychiatric disorders and mental health disorders for those in the African Diaspora. African Americans are three to four time more likely to receive a more stigmatizing psychotic disorder diagnosis than Caucasian Americans (Schwartz & Blankenship, 2014). Presenters in this session will discuss the disparity in diagnosis for those in the African diaspora. Additionally, data associated with this research, the corresponding increased trauma associated with more stigmatizing diagnoses and the paucity in counseling research regarding these disparities will be discussed.
