Research Methods with Diverse Racial and Ethnic Groups
Michigan State University
East Lansing, Michigan
4
June 22-26, 2009
Although the topic receives little coverage in most textbooks on research methods, important
advances have been made in recent decades in methods for psychological research involving
racial and ethnic minority groups. The purpose of this ATI is to introduce participants to a
variety of research approaches that have been used with diverse racial and ethnic groups to
produce significant and useful knowledge about these populations. Participation in this ATI will
help investigators to conduct psychological research that is culturally appropriate and relevant
for the groups being studied.
The ATI will be led by Dr. Frederick Leong, who is Professor of Psychology and Director of the
Center for Multicultural Psychology Research at Michigan State University. Dr. Leong recently
co-edited a special issue of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology (the journal of
APA Division 45) on methodologies for research with racial and ethnic minority populations.
Other instructors for the ATI will come from Michigan State and other leading institutions. For a
complete list of topics and instructors at this ATI, view the Tentative Course Schedule.
Among the topics to be covered in this ATI are: (a) Methodologies for Investigating Treatment
Outcomes with Culturally Diverse Populations; (b) Multicultural Research in Organizational
Contexts (c) Using the Internet to Conduct Research with Culturally Diverse Populations; (d)
Culturally Sensitive Qualitative Research Methods with Diverse Populations; (e) Evaluating
Measurement Equivalence of Research Measures; (f) Methods for Racial Identity and Racial
Socialization Research; (g) Archival Research and Secondary Data Analysis with Culturally
Diverse Populations; (h) HIV Research with Disenfranchised and Hard-to-Reach Populations;
and (i) Genomic Research in Ethnic Minority Communities.
The course will be tailored to faculty, post-docs, and graduate students who aim to conduct
research with diverse racial and ethnic groups and are interested in learning about the latest
methodological approaches and challenges. There are no prerequisites, but participants should
come to the course with an idea for a specific research project that they would like to carry out
based on secondary analysis of datasets. Information regarding these archival datasets will be
provided prior to the workshop and participants will work in teams on these projects. It is
expected but not required that these teams will complete the research projects after the workshop
based on knowledge gained from the ATI and submit the work for publication.
Up to 30 participants will be chosen to attend this ATI.
Application:
Apply now!
Deadline:
The application deadline for this ATI is March 30.
Fees:
Faculty: APA Member - $750 / Nonmember - $1200
Post-Doc / Graduate Student: APA Member - $375 / Nonmember - $550
5
Lodging:
Participants will receive a group discount on rooms at a hotel near the training site.
Financial Aid:
The APA Science Directorate will be able to provide a limited amount of financial assistance to
support travel and lodging of some ATI participants. If you wish to apply for financial
assistance, please do so by the April 14 deadline using the ATI Financial Assistance Request
Form. Preference will be given to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, but participants at
other career levels will also be considered if sufficient funds are available. In most cases, the
amount of financial assistance that is provided will defray only a portion of overall travel and
lodging costs. Applicants will be notified about financial assistance decisions after they have
been accepted for the ATI and prior to the registration deadline.
Applicants are also encouraged to consult with their research mentors or department heads about
the availability of institutional funds to support this advanced training opportunity.
Cancellation Policy:
If you cancel up to 30 days prior to the start date, and we are able to fill your place, a full refund
will be provided. If you cancel less than 30 days prior, and we are able to fill your place, we will
give a refund of 75%. If you cancel at any time and we are unable to fill your place, then no
refund can be provided.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: INTERACTIVE SESSIONS, SYMPOSIA, & POSTER SESSIONS
ASIAN AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
2009 ANNUAL CONVENTION
August 5, 2009
Toronto, Canada
"Strengthening Our Diverse Families and Communities in Times of Change"
The Asian American Psychological Association (AAPA) invites submissions
of proposals for the AAPA 2009 Annual Convention to be held in Toronto,
Canada on Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 addressing the theme Strengthening
6
Our Diverse Families and Communities in Times of Change.
During the past year, individuals living in the U.S. have witnessed and
experienced many changes in personal, familial, psychological, political
and economic realities. During these times of uncertainty, some
families and communities remain resilient, while others struggle. Social
justice oriented psychologists are keenly aware that these disparate
outcomes are often the result of inequities in support and resources.
More than ever, psychologists need to foster ways of supporting and
strengthening our diverse families and communities, while also
confronting the systems of power and privilege that perpetuate societal
inequities. We define families broadly to recognize the diversity of
AAPI family constellations and encourage all program submissions to use
a diverse definition of families and communities with the understanding
of intersecting privileges and oppressions (e.g. extended kinship
networks, blended families, LGBTQ families, adopted and foster families,
intercultural families related to religious/spiritual affiliation as
well as race/ethnicity, etc.). Special attention will be given to
proposals that involve interdisciplinary or community collaborations.
Proposals may address, but are not limited to, the following topics
within Asian American psychology:
. Supporting Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) families
across the lifespan
. Diverse and under-served Asian American individuals and
families (e.g., multi-racial, transracially adoptive, LGBTQ,
transnational, refugee, veterans)
. Families and communities as sources of strengths and resilience
. Social class and economic impacts for Asian American families
and communities, including supporting individuals and families in
poverty, and sustaining resilience in times of economic distress
. Exemplary prevention and intervention programming for families
and communities
. Social justice counseling and psychotherapy models
. Empowering AAPI families through activism, political lobbying,
and community organizing
. Innovative practice to address racial disparities in mental and
physical health
. Policy initiatives needed to support AAPI individuals and
7
families in changing times
Who may submit
AAPA members at all levels of training (professional, graduate level,
and undergraduate level), including non-psychologists, interested in
psychological issues affecting Asian Americans are encouraged to submit
proposals. Undergraduate proposals are encouraged. Non-AAPA members at
all levels may also submit proposals.
To reinforce the convention's theme on interdisciplinary collaborations,
we also particularly encourage submissions from non-psychologists,
including members of related mental health professions (e.g. nursing,
social work, education) as well as members of other professions and
fields that are not primarily psychological in nature (i.e.,
sociologists, anthropologists, journalists, clergy, artists, writers).
Because strengthening diverse families and communities are of particular
importance for psychologists of color, we strongly encourage submissions
from members of the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi), Society
of Indian Psychologists (SIP), or the National Latina/o Psychological
Association (NLPA).
All presenters are required to officially register for the
convention.
Types of Submissions
Deadline for all submissions is March 16, 2009. All submissions will be
online at: http://forms.apa.org/aapa
SESSIONS
Interactive Sessions (60 minutes) provide an environment for focused
discussions and interactions. In a typical session, facilitators
introduce the topic and set up a context for subsequent discussions and
interactions among participants. Please contact Anjuli Amin at
amin.anjuli@gmail.com
<http://us.mc303.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=amin.anjuli@gmail.com>
with any questions about submitting interactive session proposals.
8
Symposia (60 minutes) are forums where multiple presentations around a
common theme are addressed. A typical symposium will include
presentations from various perspectives by subsequent presenters. An
invited expert discussant may provide feedback. Please contact Anjuli
Amin at amin.anjuli@gmail.com
<http://us.mc303.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=amin.anjuli@gmail.com>
with any questions about submitting symposia proposals.
If applicable, please submit interactive sessions or symposia proposals
concurrently for poster session consideration. Do not submit a separate
poster proposal for a session that you would also like to be considered
as a poster. Instead, clearly indicate on the cover sheet under "A: Type
of Program" that you would like your session proposal to also be
considered for a poster presentation.
No individual paper proposals are accepted. Single research papers
should be submitted as posters.
POSTERS
Posters are conceptual and/or empirical reports presented in the form of
a poster. In a poster session, multiple posters are displayed to
disseminate information and elicit interactions with participants.
Please contact Kimberly Langrehr at klangrehr@gmail.com

Subject: FW: recruiting for study on working with LGB clients
From: "Anna Dendy" <AKD124@sa.psu.edu>
Date: February 9, 2009 6:12:58 AM EST
To: <chds@uga.edu>
Subject: FW: recruiting for study on working with LGB clients
Dear Dr. Delgado-Romero,
I am a student of Dr. Kathy Bieschke's at Penn State. I am recruiting for my dissertation, a
qualitative study about what graduate training psychologists and trainees think facilitated their
learning to work effectively with lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients. I am also interested in
whether psychologists/trainees think that practitioners need to hold LGB-affirmative personal
beliefs in order to be competent with LGB clients.
I'm writing to ask a courtesy: Would you forward this recruitment email to the advanced
counseling psychology trainees in your department (3rd year and up)? I would also very much
appreciate it if you could forward the email to any former students or others of your acquaintance
who are heterosexual early career psychologists (up to 6 years post-doctorate).
11
I've attached the recruitment statement and also copied it at the end of this email. When people
get the email they can decide whether they meet the rest of the criteria.
Thank you very much,
Anna Dendy

Working with Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Clients
My name is Anna Dendy, and I’m a counseling psychology Ph.D. student at Penn State. I am
seeking volunteers to participate in a research study. Did you begin your graduate psychology
training with mixed or negative views toward same-sex relationships? If so, I would like to talk
with you about your experience. During psychology training many people experience a clash
between their personal values on LGB issues and values espoused by the profession. I am
interested in learning how psychologists-in-training reconcile negative views of LGB
relationships with their roles as mental health providers to LGB clients. As you progressed in
your training with LGB clients, did you find that your personal values changed at all? Or did you
find that you were able to work with LGB clients while maintaining mixed or negative personal
values toward same-sex relationships?
I would like to interview (a) advanced trainees (3rd year and beyond) in doctoral psychology
programs, and (b) psychologists early in their careers (up to six years post-graduation). I am
seeking heterosexual participants for this qualitative study. Participants must be 18 years of age
or older to be eligible to participate in this research. Each participant will be compensated $10.00
for his or her participation in the study.
Your participation would involve completing a 1.5-hour interview over the phone. In addition, if
you choose, you may participate in one to two follow-up contacts in which you would provide
your feedback on (1) a written summary of our interview and (2) the near-final results of the
study.
If you are interested in participating in the study, please go to my website at
http://www.psychdata.com/default.asp. Once there, enter survey # 127093.
If you’d like to contact me directly to ask questions about the study, please email
akd124@psu.edu or call (443) 791-2323. If you know of others who you think might meet the
criteria for this study and might be interested in participating, please feel free to forward them
this email. Please be assured that all participant information will be kept strictly confidential.
12
Thank you very much for your interest.
Dr. Kathleen Bieschke is supervising this study. She can be reached at (814) 865-3296 if you
have questions or concerns. Dr. Bieschke’s address is 327 CEDAR Building, University Park,
PA, 16802.

MINORITY MENTAL HEALTH POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS AVAILABLE
The University of Rochester Program of Research and Innovation in Disparities Education (PRIDE)
prepares postdoctoral fellows in clinical psychology to engage in community based participatory research
while also providing advanced clinical training in an urban community mental health center. The
fellowship aims to enhance trainees’ clinical skills and knowledge base while also addressing the unique
developmental challenges faced by trainees who are in the midst of deciding whether to choose a career
that is primarily clinically oriented or one that is primarily oriented toward research. Opportunities exist to
network with nationally recognized leaders in disparities research and minority mental health as well as
with local community leaders and organizers. Past trainees have gone into private practice or research
positions. This is an excellent opportunity for ambitious self-starters who want to make a difference.
These positions are partially funded by a grant from the NIMH (Paul Duberstein, PI).
