Overview and Mission Statement:

The mission of the Culture & Well-Being Research Lab is to conduct ongoing research about multicultural issues in psychology, with a particular focus on understanding individual, family, and community strengths that help individuals of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds experience well-being. To this end, the lab provides a setting in which students, faculty, and other colleagues can engage in project development, implementation, and dissemination of findings about various topics.

Current projects (qualitative and quantitative) focus on:

• Coping with racism-related stress among racial/ethnic minority college students
• Bicultural stress and coping in Latino adolescents
• Biracial/multiracial identity
• Familismo in Latino youth and adults
