▼ “The U.S. Hispanic market is a moving target.” – Isabel Valdes, member, National Council of La Raza and Hispanic marketing expert ❧ It is a dynamic market, continually growing and changing. In fact, the latest U.S. Census data showed that the Hispanic market experienced more growth than any other segment between 2000 and 2010. Immigration, which was traditionally the driving force behind this continued growth, was trumped by births. ❧ As is the case with most Census data, this trend has created an uptick in organizational interest. Brand managers (hereafter “brands”) have taken notice of the market’s growth and value. Furthermore, organizations that were not already targeting this market are privy to Census figures that project Hispanics could make up 30 percent of the overall U.S. population by the year 2050. More importantly, the Selig Center for Economic Growth projects that this market could represent $1.5 trillion in buying power by 2015, or 11 percent share. ❧ However, some brands shy away from this growing segment, while others struggle to understand it. And, as if the Hispanic market was not diverse and complex enough, the market’s primary source of growth, the U.S.-born generations, are similar to their foreign-born counterparts in many ways and yet, different in many others. ❧ While the most current generations are attracted to Hispanic culture, values and even recreation, they are also fond of their surrounding culture, attracted to American traditions, consumer products and services, and of course, English-use and content. As such, this segment serves as a go-between in two larger markets, while establishing themselves as their own. ❧ Still, despite strong notions that this group is reachable via Hispanic or general market efforts, there is an intensifying opportunity to evaluate the way that brands are targeting second- and third-generation Hispanics. This group presents a new market, as members are earning higher incomes, becoming more interested in high-end products and increasing their savvy for financial tools. ❧ By introducing campaigns aimed specifically at the second- and third-generations, brands can develop relationships that may prime them for market sustainability. However, what makes for the proper strategy remains a critical question, one that may actually produce a variety of answers. Overall, second- and third-generations are creating a new cultural shift that demands marketer investment and presents brand opportunity.

▼ It is clear that the US federal government is concerned about the country's teen pregnancy rates and would like to see changes. Without a precise understanding of the factors associated with adolescent pregnancy, and specifically with Hispanic female adolescent pregnancy, monies allocated to prevention programs could go to waste. The focus of this study was to systematically review the current literature as it relates to factors, in this case attitudes, beliefs and practices that influence Hispanic female adolescents' reproductive behaviors. This study consisted of systematically reviewing published studies, through a process of abstracting and organizing their findings into a matrix. Three electronic databases were searched: MEDLINE, ERIC, and CINAHL. The initial search yielded a total of 494 publications. After applying specific inclusion criteria, the final sample of publications included forty-nine (n=49). Publications were categorized as primarily quantitative or primarily qualitative studies. Methodological characteristics of each study were judged using an overall methodological quality score (MQS) assigned to each study. Different MQS criteria were developed for qualitative and quantitative studies. A total of 205 findings were abstracted from the 49 included reports. Beliefs that were identified consistently among the studies were norms and values associated with condom use, partner's beliefs, hedonistic beliefs, and communicative beliefs. Norms and values were also seen as important when adolescents chose to remain abstinent. Findings that were unique the Hispanic adolescent population were identified as well with cultural factors showing significant associations. Regarding methodological quality, fewer than 50% of studies included a theoretical framework and only 11 included Hispanic-only samples. Qualitative studies had similar findings to those of the quantitative studies, but also introduced new factors associated with reproductive behaviors. Acculturation constructs were seen among the qualitative studies as being positively associated to sexual abstinence. Other behaviors such as partner's manipulation of birth control and the use of female condoms were unique to the qualitative studies done in this review. This review provided a critical assessment of the literature and it methodological qualities. Findings should be interpreted with caution due to limitations. Concentrating on unique factors associated with the Hispanic population can lead to interventions that are culturally sensitive to this population and effective. Health professionals should focus on conducting more studies with exclusively Hispanic samples and use factors unique to the Hispanic population when planning health education programs that are culturally sensitivity to Hispanic female adolescents' needs and world-views.

▼ ABSTRACT A DIACHRONIC ANALYSIS OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST MISSIONS AMONG HISPANICS IN KENTUCKY Jonathan Paul Young, D.Miss. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2013 Chair: Dr. M. David Sills Chapter 1 examines the Hispanic community in the United States then in Kentucky. It provides an overview of the history of Southern Baptist missions among Hispanics in Kentucky as seen through the framework of the six regional Hispanic ministries. An overview of the importance of the Hispanic Statewide Council and the Hispanic Baptist Bible Institute are sketched. Finally, the chapter concludes with the background of the study, and the research methodology. Chapter 2 provides an in-depth sketch of the histories of the Central Hispanic Region and South Central Hispanic Region. I begin with a historical picture of the Central Hispanic Region. The beginnings, growth, and present standing are then examined. This chapter includes a brief look at other ministries geared towards Hispanics who are found within this geographical region. The Hispanic racetrack ministry of Churchill Downs in Louisville and of Turfway Park in Florence along with Northern Kentucky Baptist Association's Hispanic Ministry history serve as examples. Following this is an examination of South Central Hispanic Region. The beginnings, growth and present status will are provided chronologically. The chapter concludes with a few insights garnered from these two regions. Chapter 3 presents historical sketches of both the Bluegrass Hispanic Region and the Southwestern Hispanic Region. First, the beginnings, growth and present status of Hispanic Southern Baptists are examined. Second, Elkhorn Baptist Association's Hispanic ministry history is surveyed. Third, the Southwestern Hispanic Region is presented in the same manner. The chapter concludes with several insights learned from these two Kentucky Hispanic Baptist Regions. Chapter 4 chronicles the histories of the Southern Kentucky Hispanic Region and the Western Hispanic Region. Both of these regions are presented much like the other previous regional Hispanic regions in this dissertation while including the idiosyncrasies of the regions at hand. Chapter 5 begins by summarizing the findings of this diachronic analysis of Southern Baptist missions among Hispanics in Kentucky. Drawing upon previous chapters, I suggest several potential applications for Kentucky Baptists, both Hispanic and non-Hispanic alike. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for further research. Advisors/Committee Members: Sills, David (advisor).

▼ Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the United States and affects persons of all races and ethnicities. The number of persons of Mexican ethnicity has increased significantly in the United States, notably in the community of Berwyn, a suburb of Chicago, IL where according to the U.S. 2010 census 60% of the community is now of Mexican descent. The factors that contribute to CVD risk in persons of Mexican decent within this community must be understood before culturally appropriate risk reduction strategies are designed and implemented. Purpose: The purpose of this community-based study is to gain a better understanding of selected social and physical health determinants and risk factors which may contribute to cardiovascular disease in people of Mexican descent in the community of Berwyn. Methods: The Healthy People 2010 model for assessing a community's health status guided this study. Multiple methods were used to characterize the prevalence of CVD risk factors among a community sample of Berwyn residents of Mexican descent. The impact of the selected social health determinants include language barriers, access to care, cultural behaviors, awareness of CVD and socioeconomic status and physical health determinants such as availability of parks and play lots, grocery stores and environmental pollution. Sources of data included: (1) community health screenings of 106 participants of Mexican descent who were assessed for blood pressure, total cholesterol, glucose, height, weight, body mass index, and age, (2) fifteen guided interviews of community key informants, (3) survey of participants in community/church-based CVD risk screenings, and (4) searches of publicly accessible internet databases related to the social and physical health determinants for this community. Data Analysis: Guided interviews were analyzed using standard qualitative procedures. STATA/MP version 1.1 was used for descriptive statistical analyses of the survey data and to determine proportions of individuals with abnormal risk values using accepted guidelines for cut-offs. The ARC geographic information system was used to plot locations of parks and stores within the community. Results: Risk prevalence data gleaned from interviews, in combination with quantitative results, revealed a triad of risk factors in this population. The most common risk factors among the 106 who participated in screenings were high body mass index (45% of the sample as overweight and additional 38% as obese), 52% with low HDL, 44% with elevated glucose, 35% with pre-hypertension; 33% with elevated total cholesterol. Reports from informants suggested that atherogenic diets and lack of physical activity among community members are common. However, key informant and individual community member interviews suggested that CVD does not rank as one of the top overall concerns for this Mexican population. Key informants also believed that lack of access to preventive health care is a common concern, with…

▼ The Hispanic population is the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States. Given its size and growth rate, the Hispanic market, as a whole, has grown in importance. The purpose of this study was to learn more about the U.S. Hispanic market in regards to apparel preferences and to discover how these products were being promoted to the Hispanic consumer. The literature suggests that the growth of the U.S. Hispanic market will lead to a greater demand for apparel. However, there is not much known about HispanicsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ apparel design and style preferences. Additionally, there are not currently many retailers who targeted this market specifically, so marketing strategies were not well documented. The methods used in this research encompassed smaller component investigations. Those component investigations included a pilot survey, visual content analysis of photographs, content analysis of Spanish-language television advertisements, and apparel store evaluations. After analysis, results provided insight to U.S. Hispanic consumersÃŠÂ¼ preferences for design attributes of apparel worn in everyday situations. Results also identified methods used by the apparel retailers who were actively engaged in marketing to Hispanics through television and in stores. This was important research for apparel retailers, as it provided a better understanding of the apparel-design preferences of U.S. Hispanic consumers as well as determined opportunities for apparel retailers targeting the U.S. Hispanic market. For further research, the methodology used in this project may also be expanded to other geographical areas of the United States where television advertisements, photographs, and store evaluations could be conducted. Also, a more direct interaction with respondents could give more qualitative information enhancing the depth of understanding U.S. Hispanic consumers.

▼ Background: Research has shown that type 2 diabetes (T2D) disproportionately affects Hispanic/Latino (H/L) minorities and older adults in the US and is associated with poor health outcomes. Psychosocial stress can negatively impact glycemic control but research on stress management in minorities with T2D is limited. Although physical activity (PA) can reduce stress, research has often shown low adherence to PA in H/L groups. Tai Chi (TC) is an ancient Chinese practice that involves slow movements and facilitates reduction of glycemic levels and stress. I examined the feasibility and impact of a TC intervention on H/L older adults with T2D. Methods: This was a randomized controlled pilot study with crossover design comparing TC to a wait-list control group receiving health information. Forty nine men and women were recruited from churches and community organizations in Chicago. Participants were 50 years of age or older, self-identified as H/L, with self-reported diagnosis of T2D and absence of cognitive/terminal disease. Bi-weekly 1-hour classes were led by a bilingual, certified instructor for 12 weeks. Main outcomes (A1C, blood pressure and psychosocial stress), and covariates (diet, PA, quality of life, self-efficacy and social support) were measured at baseline and post-test. Receptivity to TC and intention to practice were assessed. Data analysis included a linear mixed model examining the effect of TC on main outcome variables, and regression analyses on main outcome variables. Pre-post-test analyses using t-tests were conducted for 31 participants who received TC. Results: For the randomized controlled pilot, no significant differences were found between TC and control groups in any of the main outcome variables. However, pre-post-test analyses of all those receiving TC showed significant reduction on A1C (p=.017), diabetes-related stress (p=.046) and immigration-related stress (p=.0055). Regression analyses showed that A1C was predicted by TC practice time at post-test. Attrition (32.5%) and acceptability of TC practice (64%) were high. All participants reported intention to continue practice on their own. Acceptability was associated with logistical (accessibility, instruction, transportation) and cultural factors (language, friendly environment). Conclusions: TC can be successfully implemented with potential benefits for H/L older adults with T2D. Further research is warranted.

▼ It is now well established that pronounced differences exist in prevalence of abdominal obesity across gender and ethnicity. Hispanic/Latinos, in particular, have been shown to have markedly distinct prevalence when compared to other ethnic populations around the world. Various organizations have highlighted the need to examine whether overall abdominal obesity cut points are appropriate for the use in this ethnic minority, particular highlighting the need of research among Hispanic/Latino residing in Western countries. This study used data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), the largest study of Hispanic/Latinos in the US, to: (1) establish optimal definitions for abdominal obesity among Hispanic/Latino adults, (2) determine the level of agreement between the presence of the metabolic syndrome diagnosed by the current Joint Interim Statement (IJS) definition and an updated definition with optimal abdominal obesity cut points, and (3) examine the association between the presence of the metabolic syndrome, diagnosed by both the IJS and our updated definition, and coronary heart disease (CHD). The sample was comprised of 16,289 individuals (59.94% female). Our results indicate than among US Hispanic/Latino adults, waist circumference cut points of >102 cm in men and >97 cm in women provide optimal discrimination for cardiovascular risk as judged by the presence of CHD. When using these cut points to create an updated metabolic syndrome definition among women, we found disagreement between our updated definition and the current IJS criteria for metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was overestimated by about 5% points among women based on IJS criteria when compared to our updated definition. Further, we determined that the performance of our updated metabolic syndrome definition as predictor of CHD was comparable to that of the IJS definition. In this paper, we provide for the first time an empirically-derived definition of abdominal obesity for use among Hispanic/Latino adults in the US. Future reports should examine our recommended waist circumference definition cut points and the performance of our updated metabolic syndrome definition as a predictor of cardiovascular risk among US Hispanic/Latinos in prospective designs.

▼ The association between depression and the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has been extensively investigated, and inflammation has been identified as an underlying link. Recent reports, however, indicate a possible role of leptin in modulating the immune response, yielding increases in inflammatory markers. The literature suggests this hormone may not only explain the metabolic abnormalities associated with depression but may also act as a biomarker of depression itself. This study aimed to determine the association between circulating leptin and total depressive symptoms and depressive symptom dimensions (cognitive and somatic) after controlling for important confounding factors such as age, gender, insulin resistance, body mass index (BMI) and inflammation. We studied 119 Hispanic participants, 60 women and 59 men, recruited for the Community Health and Risk-reduction for the Metabolic Syndrome (CHARMS) study. Depression was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Somatic and Cognitive subscale scores were calculated. Leptin was measured using a leptin-specific enzyme immunoassay. Inflammation was assessed using C-reactive protein (CRP) measured with a high-sensitivity assay. Participants with CRP levels greater than 10 mg/L were excluded from analysis. CRP and leptin levels were log transformed to achieve a normal distribution. Median BDI total score, BDI cognitive score and BDI somatic score were 8, 3 and 5, respectively. Median circulating leptin levels were 30.6 ng/ml. In univariate regression, leptin levels were significantly associated with total (β =0.36, P=.000), cognitive (β =0.24, P=.011) and somatic depressive symptoms (β =0.48, P=.000). After controlling for age, gender, insulin resistance, BMI and inflammation, circulating leptin levels remained significantly associated with somatic depressive symptoms only (β =.41, P=.004). Another important predictor of somatic depressive symptoms was age (β=0.23; P=0.004). The model accounted for 31% of the variance in somatic depression scores. Leptin is significantly associated with somatic depressive symptoms in Hispanics with the MetS. This association was independent of important confounding factors such as gender, age, BMI, insulin resistance and inflammation. Further research is needed to elucidate the complex pathways linking depression and the MetS while incorporating the potential role of leptin.

▼ Background: As of 2018, Hispanics were the third largest affected group living with diabetes in the U.S. Once diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a person can learn how to manage the disease through a diabetes self-management education (DSME) program, which educates patients on the skills needed to manage the disease. The problem is that a large portion of this ethnic group does not understand English and/or lives in rural and remote areas; consequently, they cannot communicate easily with their primary healthcare provider. The Hispanic health protection model (HHPM), which mixes concepts from health belief and health promotion, is the conceptual framework used to guide this doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project. The HHPM was created in the U.S. to evaluate the adjustments and outcomes in newly diagnosed T2D Hispanics at a county clinic (Latham & Calvillo, 2013). Objective: To provide a diabetic education program in Spanish to a selected group of patients unable to receive the DSME at their local program due to lack of interpreters. Design: Pretest survey and posttest survey was the method used for this quality improvement (QI) project. Surveys were created utilizing material from the diabetes knowledge questionnaire (DKQ) as well as diabetes facts and self-management solutions from the University of California, San Francisco. Settings: The participants were given the options of completing the surveys and education at either the Diabetes Education Clinic at Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center (SHRMC) in Show Low, AZ, the city’s community building, or a local library. Participants: Five limited English proficiency (LEP) Hispanics with T2D identified by SHRMC diabetic educator (DE) as patients who were unable to receive the DSME from SHRMC due to lack of interpreter services (IS) participated in this QI project. Measurements: Likert scale questions were used in the surveys. The differences between the pretest and posttest survey question means were evaluated using descriptive statistics. Results: All five participants showed an increase in their baseline knowledge after receiving the DSME. The results showed an in participants’ collective perceived knowledge in the section related to knowledge about T2D. Among the HHPM questions, responses demonstrated an increase in the mean Likert scores after receiving the DSME, the exception being the area addressing cultural beliefs. The mean Likert response was inverted, from 3.6 to 1 demonstrating a change in the initial belief that being stressed or frightened triggers diabetes. Conclusions: This educational explanation in Spanish showed an increase in the participants’ baseline knowledge, which is a positive change. LEP Hispanics with T2D may benefit if SHRMC decides to integrate this DSME into their diabetic education program (DEP) since it is both feasible and easy to replicate. If the program is integrated, then the local PCPs can be informed by the facility and refer the LEP Hispanics to receive the DSME at SHRMC.

▼ There is a national concern for the successful completion of the doctoral degree in graduate programs that needs attention because approximately half of doctoral students earn the degree and the other half of doctoral students do not attain the degree. Furthermore, the completion rate for a doctoral degree is much lower for African Americans/Blacks and Hispanics whom are largely represented as first-generation. First-generation African Americans/Blacks and Hispanics have been reported as less likely to pursue a doctoral degree, and their experiences in the doctoral program have been less documented. The literature review reviews characteristics of recipients and non-recipients of the doctoral degree, enrollment status in graduate school, and experiences of those enrollees. Seen in this light, first-generation African Americans/Blacks and Hispanics???documented as less likely to enroll in graduate school and even less likely to be recipients of the doctoral degree???are viewed as being disadvantaged by virtue of the characteristics they hold upon entering the program, which influences the doctoral experience. However, this dissertation set forth to view this population???s experience influenced by specific interactions emphasizing their racial/ethnic and first-generation identities. The theories of symbolic interactionism, resilience and practice assisted in conceptualizing the participants??? doctoral experiences. The study was a qualitative narrative inquiry in which experiences turned into stories were told by four first-generation African Americans/Blacks and Hispanics pursuing their doctoral degree in Education. As seen through their eyes, participants interpreted their experiences from a symbolic interactionism perspective related to the interrelationships between their own behavior and the educational environment. In other words, participants analyzed how interactions that occurred in a particular place and time shaped their experience as first-generation doctoral students of color. The author???s interest was not to compare African Americans/Blacks with Hispanics in pursuit of the doctoral degree. Rather, the interest rested with getting to know shared and divergent experiences among the participants to understand their journey in pursuit of the doctoral degree.

▼ The study is a secondary data analysis of the Health Insurance Coverage Among Working Latinos in California, 2001 Survey. The study examined the relationship between health insurance coverage type (employer-sponsored, self-purchased, government-sponsored, and uninsured) and a variety of demographic and social/cultural variables and motivational factors to determine the likelihood of the take-up of health insurance coverage by Latino workers in California in 2001. The study surveyed 1,000 working California residents of Latino descent and asked respondents about their health status, access to health care, and type of health insurance coverage they possessed. Factors affecting insurance status and type of coverage were explored further through binary, logistical and multi-nomial regression analyses. The study’s findings demonstrate that acculturation, years of U.S. residency, household income, educational attainment, certain motivational factors, employment industry, union membership and hours worked per week are all significant predictors of Latino employees’ take-up of health insurance coverage. The findings also demonstrate that U.S. immigrant Latino laborers are especially at risk of not possessing any form coverage. A variety of health care reform policy recommendations and implications for practice are described in an effort to provide solutions for alleviating the access barriers Latino employees frequently encounter as a result of being uninsured or under-insured. Therefore, policymakers should take into consideration the varying levels of employment and the fact that many industries that employ Latino laborers simply do not offer adequate health insurance benefits. Lawmakers must also explore the eligibility requirements government sponsored coverage contain in an effort to provide programs that offer coverage to Latino laborers and their families. Failure to provide adequate health insurance coverage to this significant and rapidly-growing demographic of the U.S. population may have serious affects for future generations, to the general public’s health and welfare, and to the economic well-being of the U.S. economy.

▼ The latest survey data from Pew Research Center and National Survey of Family Growth are applied to the 2010 Census Bureau numbers to project the U.S. Catholic population from 2010 to 2060. I hypothesize that immigration and the assimilation of Latinos plays a powerful role in the future growth or decline of the Catholic Church. Assimilation directly affects two main components of religious growth, fertility and switching, and influences exogamous marriage rates. I also model how changing immigration patterns will affect the future composition and growth of the U.S. Catholic Church. I used cohort component projection methods with three varied assumptions for each of the four components: immigration, fertility, exogamy, and switching. The three assumptions corresponded with low, medium, and high levels of assimilation. I presented results for each component separately to asses the individual impact, and then created combined scenarios with the lowest and highest levels of assimilation in the population. I find that high levels of assimilation are associated with lower levels of future growth for Latino Catholics and that by 2060, the growth of the Catholic will be approximately zero. Low levels of assimilation are associated with high sustained levels of growth for the Latino Catholic population across the entire projection period. Immigration, not affected by assimilation, had the greatest impact on the future size and growth of the Catholic population, mirroring the historical reliance on immigrants for growth of the institution. Switching and religious exogamy had the least impact on the future size and growth of Latinos as part of the overall U.S. Catholic population. This suggests that the demographic components of fertility and immigration were more integral to the growth of the Church than the religious behaviors of switching and exogamy. In all projections, Latinos are expected to make up the majority of total Catholics in the United States by 2060, and more than three-quarters of young Catholics. The Latino population is projected to fuel all of the future growth of the U.S. Catholic population, though growth slows across five decades, and in the highest assimilation scenario falls to almost zero.

▼ Hispanos machen ungefähr 16% der US-amerikanischen Gesamtbevölkerung aus und sind damit die größte ethnische Minderheit im Land. Von den Hispanos in den USA sind circa 70% katholisch und 20% protestantisch. Der Rest gehört alternativen christlichen oder nicht-christlichen Religionen an oder ist nicht religiös. Protestantische Hispanos konstituieren somit eine große Minderheit innerhalb ihrer eigenen ethnischen Enklave. Es lässt sich jedoch ein wachsender Trend von katholischen Hispanos, die zu evangelikalen Kirchen übertreten, feststellen. Den Veränderungen, die diese Transformation mit sich bringt, wurde bisher von Soziologen kaum Beachtung geschenkt. Die vorliegende Dissertation adressiert diese Forschungslücke in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur unter Miteinbeziehung des Konzepts des sozialen Kapitals. Diese Arbeit untersucht die Rolle des sozialen Kapitals im Leben der hispanischen community [Gemeinschaft] in den Vereinigten Staaten, welche in hispanische Katholiken und hispanische Evangelikale unterteilt ist. Bezugnehmend auf Robert Putnams Definition und Klassifikation des sozialen Kapitals untersuche ich, inwiefern diese zwei Gruppen von Hispanos soziales Kapital unterschiedlich akkumulieren. Ich betrachte die Möglichkeit,, dass Hispanos unterschiedlicher Konfession soziales Kapital nicht nur unterschiedlich einsetzen sondern es auch unterschiedlich wahrnehmen. Die meisten Untersuchungen zum sozialen Kapital bisher konzentrierten sich auf nur eine Bevölkerungsgruppe und die Auswirkungen ihrer Netzwerkressourcen auf die Teilhabe. Diese Studie stützt sich auf qualitative Forschungsmethoden, die aus der Tradition der Grounded Theory stammen, um die Unterschiede (in der Herstellung) von sozialem Kapital in zwei hispanischen Kirchen in Südkalifornien zu untersuchen. Das Sample besteht aus zwei evangelikalen Pastoren und neunzehn Mitgliedern aus beiden Kirchen, die größtenteils unterschiedlichen Dienstbereichen innerhalb ihrer Kirchen angehören. Die Daten wurden in halb-strukturierten Interviews mit den Kirchenmitgliedern, durch Beobachtung und auf der Grundlage von Archivmaterial erhoben. Die erhobenen Daten zeigen, dass auf der Ebene der Kirchengemeinden keine wesentlichen Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Gruppen bezüglich ihrer Einstellungen zu Vertrauen, Vernetzung, Ehrenamt und Reziprozität existieren. Es gibt jedoch einige Faktoren, die großen Einfluss darauf haben, wie Kirchenmitglieder soziales Kapital erwerben, - wie z.B. Theologie, religiöse Konversion und Debatten zum Thema Rasse. Diese Forschungsarbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur wissenschaftlichen Literatur über hispanische Katholiken und hispanische Evangelikale. Vor allem aber trägt sie zur Forschung über das soziale Kapital bei, indem sie Kategorien definiert, die die Entstehung von sozialem Kapital in einer Gemeinschaft, und speziell in religiösen Gruppen, beeinflussen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie tragen damit zu unserem Verständnis der Variablen bei, die für die Transformation von Formen des sozialen Kapitals wichtig sind.

▼ Despite all the efforts universities and colleges put into facilitating a more diverse student and faculty body, the scarcity of Hispanics in academia and the struggles they encounter once they join a department remains a problem for administrators. This study explored how Hispanic faculty members negotiated their identities in the workplace in light of their perceptions of prejudice and discrimination, and their working experiences associated with their professions. Thirty in-depth semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with college professors from seven different universities who self-identified as Hispanic or Latino(a). Using a qualitative grounded theory approach, specifically a constant comparative method (Charmaz, 2000, 2006; Corbin & Strauss, 1990), this study uncovered three themes. First, professors used different strategies to negotiate their identities depending on whether they are seeking to avoid or confront identity threats. Specifically, professors used dual identity and social creativity strategies to cope with potential identity threats. Second, professors demonstrated a constant sense of vigilance and self-reflexivity in reporting prejudice and discrimination experienced at different levels, thus revealing certain strategies outlined in the first theme. The third theme outlines the professors' perceptions of the difficulties they experienced in professional processes such as teaching and mentoring and establishing interpersonal relationships beyond the Hispanic community in academia. Ultimately, this theme highlights that their ethnic group membership is still central in the way professors perform in their professions but also in the way they relate interpersonally with different people. In analyzing Hispanic professors in United States higher education institutions, this research made four theoretical contributions by (a) expanding knowledge about how professors' identities are fluid and multiform, (b) considering the unique and constant self-reflexive process by which these professors behave, (c) expanding the nature of identity negotiation strategies, and (d) unveiling the fragile state of diversity initiatives on college campuses.

▼ The Personality Inventory DSM-5 (PID-5) was created to measure personality pathology and help in the development of a dimensional conceptualization of personality disorders (Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson, & Skodol, 2012). It measures five maladaptive personality traits: Negative Affect, Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition and Psychoticism. The PID-5 has also garnered significant support for its hierarchical structure, five-factor structure across samples and translations, and its ability to predict variance in internalizing and externalizing disorders (Krueger & Markon, 2014). The current study builds on this literature by translating the PID-5 into Spanish spoken in Latin America and testing the replicability of the five-factor structure, reliability, and validity of the PID-5-Sp facets in a Hispanic sample. Using Mechanical Turk, 305 participants completed the PID-5-Spanish, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD7), Aggression Questionnaire-Revised (AQ-R) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI). EFA suggested a three-factor structure that resulted in two small factors that were conceptually similar to Antagonism and Detachment and one large global general distress factor. CFA results indicated that a five-factor solution had a poor fit for the current sample. Reliability was acceptable for most facets (α = .60-.95, M= .85). In general, PID-5-Sp domains showed moderate to strong correlations with theoretically congruent normative traits, with exception of Psychoticism, which was not significantly correlated with Openness to Experience (r = -.08, p = > .05). As expected, Detachment and Negative Affect predicted GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores. Aggression scores were predicted by Negative Affect, Antagonism and Disinhibition. Overall, the PID-5-Sp partially replicated previous validity and reliability findings. However, future research is needed to further test the five-factor structure and its replicability in non-Western samples.

▼ Introduction: The overweight and obesity crisis in America has reached alarming rates with little progress of reversing the trend, despite much effort. Heritability has been estimated at up to 70%, though it is still unclear how genetics respond to environmental pressures. Evaluating groups of genes that are known to influence metabolic pathways has given some insight into the variation we see in body composition and prevalence of metabolic diseases. Methods: Data from the San Luis Valley Diabetes Study's third examination were utilized (1997-1998, n=837). One hundred seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were selected from 22 genes that have previously been associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a cohort of Hispanic and non-Hispanic white (NHW) individuals. Genetic data were reduced to a smaller set of derived factors using principal components analysis (PC). Associations were determined between factors and obesity outcomes. Results: Hispanics were more likely to have T2D than NHW (19% vs. 11%). Sample minor allele frequencies for 100 analyzable SNPs varied between the two groups with the minor alleles of rs8059937 (A2BP1) and rs6822807 (UCP1) being significantly more prevalent in Hispanics and rs11724758 (FABP2) and rs2239179 (VDR) significantly more prevalent in NHWs. SNP variance was redistributed into orthogonal components and 32 were retained for analysis, accounting for 77% of the total variance in genetic data. The combined genetic information increased predictive power of increases in body mass index (BMI) from the study baseline by 5.6% in Hispanics. Genetic data increased predictability of BMI and waist circumference (WC) in NHWs by 7.5% and 5.1%, respectively. Both groups had a significant increase in knowledge gained (18%) for the prevalence of T2D when genetic information was added to the base model. SNPs from UCP1 loaded strongly onto PC4, which was associated with BMI change in Hispanics and BMI, WC, and T2D in NHWs. PC7 represented SNPs from RBP4 and FABP2, which was associated with diabetes status in both groups. All obesity outcomes were associated with PC15 in Hispanics, symbolizing SNPs on the PPARD and RBP4 genes. NHWs showed additional associations with components having strong loadings from SNPs on multiple genes, including ADIPOQ, GC, VDR, PPARG, PPARGC1A, PPARD, UCP2, UCP3, and AlOX15. Conclusions: When combined together, multilocus genetic data show a larger influence on obesity outcomes than single polymorphisms alone. Base variations in UCP1, RBP4, and FABP2 gene sequences are associated with change in BMI and diabetes status in Hispanics and BMI, WC, and diabetes status in NHWs.
