Congratulations to Assistant Professor of Psychology Ayşe Ikizler on her recent publication (which was based on her dissertation work), “Discrimination, Religious, and Cultural Factors, and Middle Eastern/Arab Americans & Psychological Distress,” in the Journal of Clinical Psychology.

In the article, Ikizler investigates the lessening role of religiosity in the link between religious affiliation and ethnic discrimination and the moderating roles of religiosity, ethnic identity, and family connectedness in the relations between ethnic discrimination and psychological distress. The research was completed by surveying 122 Middle Eastern/Arab Americans, ranging in age from 18 to 82 years old.
