Doctoral Dissertation Award in DRMS:Daily Diary Study of Hispanic Culture, Identity and HealthBlair Johnson University of Connecticut0750380This research addresses the question as to whether certain differences in risk taking behavior may be in part a consequence of cultural factors and, within immigrant subpopulations, a consequence of differences the degree of acculturation across group members. For example, a disproportionate number of Hispanics living and working in the United States are infected with HIV as compared to Whites, with young adults particularly at-risk for infection. Psychological pressures exerted as a result of discord between Hispanic and American cultures may be in part responsible for this health disparity as well as other differences in propensity to engage in risky activities. This research clarifies how a Hispanic individual's degree of acculturation relates to risky decision-making based on a "theory of planned behavior" framework. The study will collect data on participation in risky activities and acculturation with Hispanic young adults living in Hartford, CT via implementation of a three-week long daily measures (i.e., Palm Pilot) study. These data will be used to ascertain how daily fluctuations in "theory of planned behavior" variables (i.e., attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and intentions) predict risky behavior for Hispanics and examine the long-term predictive nature of subjective norms and past behavior. The study will also determine the extent to which daily changes in variables related to acculturation as well as endorsement of certain Hispanic cultural beliefs moderate HIV risk behavior for young Hispanics living in the United States.

DRMS中的博士学位论文奖：西班牙裔文化，身份和Healthblair Johnson康涅狄格大学的每日日记研究7750380，这项研究解决了一个问题，即在移民范围内以及在移民亚群体中，在移民行为中的某些差异可能部分是文化因素的结果差异跨小组成员的适应程度。 例如，与白人相比，在美国生活和工作的西班牙裔数量不成比例，患有艾滋病毒，年轻人特别是处于感染的年轻人。 由于西班牙裔和美国文化之间不一致而施加的心理压力可能部分负责这种健康差异，以及从事风险活动的倾向上的其他差异。这项研究阐明了西班牙裔个人的适应程度如何与基于“计划行为理论”框架的风险决策有关。 这项研究将通过实施为期三周的每日措施（即棕榈飞行员）研究，以与居住在康涅狄格州哈特福德的西班牙裔年轻人一起收集有关危险活动和适应的数据。这些数据将用于确定“计划行为理论”变量中的每日波动（即态度，感知的行为控制和意图）如何预测西班牙裔的风险行为，并检查主观规范和过去行为的长期预测性。 该研究还将确定变量与适应性相关的变量的每日变化以及对某些西班牙裔文化信仰的认可，对生活在美国的年轻西班牙裔艾滋病毒风险行为中等程度。
