Tim Grigsby (Social and Behavioral Health) co-authored a manuscript titled, "Bicultural Stress and Bullying Behaviors Among Immigrant Origin Youth: The Promise of Developmental Assets," in the journal Youth and Society.
Bicultural stress, adolescents’ appraisal of intergenerational conflict and discrimination from peers, can strain youths’ capacity for functional coping and positive adaptation. Conversely, internal assets (IAs; i.e., positive identity and social competencies) promote thriving and resilience. Researchers assessed associations between bicultural stress and past 30-day bullying victimization and perpetration and the protective effects of IAs among Hispanic and Somali youth.
