Identifier	Thesis 1883
Author	Vohra, Parveen
Title	Racism-Related Stress, Cultural Values and Spirituality as Predictors of Well-Being among South Asians in Connecticut
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2006
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The present study explored the relationship between racism-related stress, cultural values, spirituality, health behaviors, and mental health among Asian-Indians and/or Pakistanis (South Asians) in Connecticut. To study these variables, a 160 item survey was distributed to approximately 100 adult Asian-Indians and/or Pakistanis residing in Connecticut. 1. It was hypothesized that South Asians who report greater amounts of perceived discrimination and racism-related stress, as measured by the Asian American Racism-Related Stress Inventory (Liang & Kim 2004) are more likely to report experiencing psychological distress, as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale (Radloff, 1977) and more negative health behaviors, as measured by the Health Behavior Checklist (HBCL) (Vickers et al., 1990). The Asian American Values Scale-Multidimensional (Kim &Gladys, 2005) was used to measure cultural values that are common to Asian Americans. The five subscales are collectivism, humility, family recognition, emotional self control and conformity to norms. 2. Adherence to the Asian Americans Values Scale (AAVS-M) was also hypothesized to predict less psychological distress (as measured by the CES-D and poorer health behaviors (as measured by the HBCL. These findings could be similar to the importance of ethnic identity development. 3. Spirituality, as measured by The Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS), (Piedmont, 1999) was hypothesized to predict more positive health behaviors (as measured by the HBCL) and less psychological distress (as measured by the CES-D).
