It's finally out!! In my dissertation work with Sari van Anders, we develop the construct of "gender pleasure" via focus groups with LGBTQ+ people where we asked them about positive experiences related to their gender/sexes. Also with Jane Mao 🏳️‍⚧️ Jay Irwin (he/they) 🏳️‍⚧️ psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-12…

Dr. Aldo Barrita🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 (El Profe), @IvanCarbajalPhD, Roberto L. Abreu, PhD, Oswaldo Moreno and others studied, with Latinx and Asian college students, a connection between cultural and psychological stress and internalizing in Latinx and Asian groups in US. psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-89…

Thanks American Psychological Association for recognizing my work! apa.org/monitor/2024/1…

🚨 In a new article, youth reporting more racial/ethnic discrimination than their siblings showed more advanced pubertal timing (an index of accelerated biological aging). Parents' racial/ethnic identity commitment weakened this discrimination-puberty link within the family!

I'm thrilled that my thesis paper "I always viewed myself as a parent": An Intersectional Family Systems Approach to Parenting Among Latinx Sexually Diverse People has been accepted for publication in Family Process in collaboration with Roberto L. Abreu, PhD and Dr. Abbie Goldberg

COVID-19 taught us valuable lessons about telepsychology at scale. Our research highlights Latinx caregivers' perceived need for and utilization of youth telepsychology during the pandemic. dx.doi.org/10.1037/lat000…

The APA Psychology Summer Institute (PSI) is currently accepting applications! Like Dr. Lou Felipe, many participants return as mentors to connect & assist doctoral students and early career psychologists with making a similar impact. Learn more here: ldi.apa.org/programs/minor…

It was exciting to present a poster at FLORIDA's Graduate Student Research Day on the mediating role of caregiver acceptance in the links between election safety and mental health among LGBTQ+ young adults! HUGE thanks to the whole team: Roberto L. Abreu, PhD Teresa Vazquez Dr. Aldo Barrita🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 (El Profe)! 🥰🫶

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ P.S.: It was beautiful to see the high number of pride flags and symbols across D.C. I think this is a clear sign that, despite the current sociopolitical climate, in the U.S. and globally, LGBTQ+ resistance and activism is still going strong. Happy pride, everyone! 🥰
