Emily Mallin, a first-year graduate student in the CARES Lab, was accepted to present her research at the Texas Psychological Association (TPA) annual Student Research Competition! The presentation, titled "Acculturative Stress and Internalizing Problems among Latino Hazardous Drinkers: What Role do Distress Tolerance and Emotion Dysregulation Play?," examines how cognitive-affective mechanisms (i.e., distress tolerance and emotion regulation) affect the relation between acculturative stress and internalizing symptoms (i.e., anxious arousal, traumatic intrusions, and social anxiety) among Latinos who endorse hazardous drinking.

Mallory Cotton, a fourth-year graduate student in the CARES Lab, has submitted a manuscript for publication! The manuscript, titled "Preparing for Racial Bias: The Influence of Racial Regard on Emotion Socialization among Black Caregivers," employs a social cognitive framework to examine direct and indirect associations between negative public regard beliefs, racial barrier socialization, and suppressive emotion socialization practices among Black caregivers.
