The Context Of African American Emotion Expression: College Campus Influences, Deon Brown
Theses and Dissertations
Theoretical frameworks suggest that African Americans express emotion in context-specific ways that are unique to their familial socialization experience (Boykin, 1986; Dunbar, Leerkes, Coard, Supple, & Calkins, 2017).

Data were collected via an online survey in which students reported the school they attend, their emotion expression in the …

This study sought to examine whether factors such as family cohesion, problem solving abilities, and communication influence asthma symptom severity in children via their effects on child depression and anxiety symptoms. Using structural equation modeling, we identified significant indirect …
