Read My Lips: No New Constructs! Construct Proliferation As A Threat To The Future Of I-O Psychology, Nathan A. Bowling, Valerie I. Sessa, Jonathan A. Shaffer, George C. Banks Jan 2026

Read My Lips: No New Constructs! Construct Proliferation As A Threat To The Future Of I-O Psychology, Nathan A. Bowling, Valerie I. Sessa, Jonathan A. Shaffer, George C. Banks

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology recognizes dozens of different constructs, including several individual differences, environmental variables, job attitudes, and work-related behaviors. It is, of course, necessary to retain a variety of constructs in order to adequately capture the complexities, subtleties, and diversity of work-related phenomena. But do the many constructs recognized by I-O psychologists all serve a useful purpose? Or has our field been too eager to welcome redundant, unnecessary constructs into the fold? And if I-O psychology has embraced too many unnecessary constructs, then what—if anything—should we do about it? In the current focal article, we first discuss when …

Health Impacts Of Migration And Policy On The Iranian Diaspora, Jihye Lee, Mitra Naseh, Sahar Badiezadeh, Sarvenaz Taridashti, Erick Da Luz Scherf

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Migration is shaped by a complex interplay of political, economic, and social factors that drive individuals to seek stability and better prospects abroad. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has experienced significant emigration of its highly educated population, driven by political instability, economic challenges, and restrictive societal norms. This study explores how U.S. immigration policies affect the health and well-being of highly educated Iranian immigrants, with particular attention given to the impact of nationality-based restrictions on psychosocial outcomes. Using a phenomenological approach, we analyzed in-depth interviews with 40 participants to examine the lived experiences of highly educated Iranian immigrants in …

Association Of Short Interpregnancy Interval Among Multigravid “Pregnant Youth” In A Tertiary Hospital, Eileen Feliz Cortes-Garcia Jan 2026

Association Of Short Interpregnancy Interval Among Multigravid “Pregnant Youth” In A Tertiary Hospital, Eileen Feliz Cortes-Garcia

The Lasallian Journal of Health

Introduction: Pregnancy among the youth is in creasing not only in the Philippines but worldwide. Studies have shown that a short interpregnancy inter val of 18 months or less is associated with an in creased risk of fetal and maternal complications. However, limited data are available regarding fetal and maternal outcomes among pregnant youth with short interpregnancy intervals, particularly in the Philippines. Objectives: The objective of the study was to deter mine the association between a short interpregnancy interval of <18 months and adverse fetomaternal out comes among pregnant youth aged 15 to 24 years who had their first pregnancy at De La Salle Univer sity Medical Center (DLSUMC) from 2017 to 2019. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study in volving 130 participants who delivered at DLSUMC from 2017 to 2019 either by vaginal spontaneous delivery, assisted vaginal delivery, or cesarean sec tion. Results: Of these, 84 (66.15%) were 22 to 24 years old and the majority had their first pregnancy at the age of 18 to 21 years (59 [45.38%]). This study demonstrated that preterm delivery, postpartum hem orrhage, and hypertension were significantly associ ated with a short interpregnancy interval. Conclusions: Short interpregnancy interval is associ ated with an increased risk of preterm delivery, hy pertension, and postpartum hemorrhage among mul tiparous pregnant youth. Counseling and proper edu cation, including family planning, are important for both maternal and fetal health. The use of different family planning methods should be discussed and made accessible to young women.

Examining The Impact Of Racial Microaggressions And Psychological Distress In Latine Individuals: A Focus On Ptsd, Anxiety, Depression, And Stress, Melanie Garcia, Yajairy Cabrales, Miguel A. Castano, Richard Chang, Gloria Wong-Padoongpatt

Spectra Undergraduate Research Journal

Latine individuals in the United States face distinct mental health challenges due to unique stressors, including systemic racism and discrimination. While research has established that racial microaggressions—such as daily slights, insults, and invalidations—negatively impact the psychological well-being of people of color, there remains limited scholarship specifically focused on Latine communities. This study examines different types of racial microaggressions—such as invisibility, criminality, and sexualization—as predictors of psychological distress among Latine individuals. A sample of 434 Latine participants completed measures assessing their experiences with racial microaggressions, as well as symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. Four multiple linear regression models were …

Quantitative Analysis Of Psychological Safety, Resilience, And Intraminority Solidarity As Predictors Of Racial Trauma Distress Among Bipoc College Students, Miguel A. Castano, Richard Chang, Gloria Wong-Padoongpatt Jan 2026

Quantitative Analysis Of Psychological Safety, Resilience, And Intraminority Solidarity As Predictors Of Racial Trauma Distress Among Bipoc College Students, Miguel A. Castano, Richard Chang, Gloria Wong-Padoongpatt

Spectra Undergraduate Research Journal

Racial trauma distress is when post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms occur due to repeated and cumulative experiences of racism and can negatively impact Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). Consensus in research findings strongly suggests that BIPOC students are more likely to experience racism on university campuses than non-BIPOC students. To mitigate some of these negative outcomes, existing research has shown that psychological safety, resilience, and intraminority solidarity are protective factors for BIPOC students experiencing race-related distress. However, little is known about the frequency of racial trauma distress among BIPOC college students and how these variables may protect against racial …

The Roberts Court And The District Court, Elodie O. Currier Stoffel Jan 2026

The Roberts Court And The District Court, Elodie O. Currier Stoffel

University of Memphis Law Review

The 2022 and 2023 Supreme Court terms were “blockbusters.”1 From the rousing dissents in Trump v. United States2 to the death knell of Chevron deference3 and the intense debates over the role of history in judicial decision-making encapsulated in Vidal v. Elster,4 the past several terms have provided both significant insight into decisionmaking processes at the Court and substantial change to previously settled law. Its impacts are already the subject of a slew of writing, both in legal journals and the popular press.5 Largely missing from the conversation is discussion of the high Court’s impacts on district courts. While academics …

Judicial Sanewashing: The Roberts Court's New Canon Of Construction, Erin M. Carr Jan 2026

Judicial Sanewashing: The Roberts Court's New Canon Of Construction, Erin M. Carr

University of Memphis Law Review

In late 2024, a new expression—“sanewashing”—began circulating in the lead-up to the presidential election. The term was used to describe the media’s coverage of Donald Trump, in which journalists, in their attempt to make his often incoherent campaign and media statements seem semi-intelligible, were accused of presenting his ideas as more sensible and cogent than they actually were. While finding its contemporary relevance primarily in politics, this Article argues that the sanewashing phenomenon is not limited to the political branches of government or the reporters who cover it. Instead, the Supreme Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts, …
