Please join us for our next speaker in the Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences Seminar Series. Wednesday, April 8th at 12:30pm, Priscilla Lui, Associate Professor of Psychology, UW will give a seminar titled: From Marginalization to Resilience: Understanding the Effects of Stress and Identifying Culturally Responsive Interventions.
Abstract: In this presentation, I summarize a systematic, multi-method research program that examines how sociocultural stressors, including racial discrimination and acculturative stress, shape mental health and substance use among people of color. This research integrates complementary designs and statistical analysis methods to strengthen causal inference and measurement precision. Racial marginalization elevates stress and negative emotions and varies across contexts and individuals, and data suggest modifiable resilience factors such as social support and bicultural self-acceptance. By combining rigorous statistical approaches with diverse study designs, this research advances cumulative science and informs culturally responsive interventions.
