Journal ArticleDOI
Is acculturation unidimensional or bidimensional? A head-to-head comparison in the prediction of personality, self-identity, and adjustment.
TL;DR: Although the unidimensional measure showed a coherent pattern of external correlates, the bidimensional measure revealed independent dimensions corresponding to heritage and mainstream culture identification, which displayed patterns of noninverse correlations with personality, self-identity, and psychosocial adjustment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laurence J. Kirmayer,Lavanya Narasiah,Marie Munoz,Meb Rashid,Andrew G. Ryder,Jaswant Guzder,Ghayda Hassan,Cécile Rousseau,Kevin Pottie +8 more
TL;DR: Systematic inquiry into patients’ migration trajectory and subsequent follow-up on culturally appropriate indicators of social, vocational and family functioning over time will allow clinicians to recognize problems in adaptation and undertake mental health promotion, disease prevention or treatment interventions in a timely way.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale: has the gold standard become a lead weight?
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that the Hamilton depression scale is psychometrically and conceptually flawed, and the breadth and severity of the problems militate against efforts to revise the current instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cultural shaping of depression: Somatic symptoms in China, psychological symptoms in North America?
Andrew G. Ryder,Jian Yang,Xiongzhao Zhu,Shuqiao Yao,Jinyao Yi,Steven J. Heine,R. Michael Bagby +6 more
TL;DR: Psychological symptom effects were larger and more consistent than somatic symptom effects; because other studies have confirmed the ubiquity of somatic presentations worldwide, these results suggest that Western psychologization may be more culturally specific than is Chinese somatization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Openness to experience, intellect, schizotypal personality disorder, and psychoticism: resolving the controversy
TL;DR: The authors identify several limitations in the literature, including inattention to differences in the conceptualization of OE/I in the questionnaire and lexical traditions and the symptom heterogeneity of STPD, and address these limitations in two large patient samples.
