Socioeconomic status (SES) has a small but significantrelationship with self-esteem (d = .15, r = .08) in a meta-analysis of 446 samples (total participant N = 312,940). Higher SES individuals report higher self-esteem. The effect size is very small in young children, increases substantially during young adulthood, continues higher until middle age, and is then smaller for adults over the age of 60. Gender interacts with birth cohort: The effect size increased over time for women but decreased over time for men. Asians and Asian Americans show a higher effect size, and occupation and education produce higher correlations with self-esteem than income does. The results are most consistent with a social indicator or salience model.

Problematic Alcohol Use

BackgroundA number of studies reports reduced hippocampal volume in individuals who engage in problematic alcohol use. However, the magnitude of the difference in hippocampal volume between individuals with v. without problematic alcohol use has varied widely, and there have been null findings. Moreover, the studies comprise diverse alcohol use constructs and samples, including clinically significant alcohol use disorders and subclinical but problematic alcohol use (e.g. binge drinking), adults and adolescents, and males and females.MethodsWe conducted the first quantitative synthesis of the published empirical research on associations between problematic alcohol use and hippocampal volume. In total, 23 studies were identified and selected for inclusion in the meta-analysis; effects sizes were aggregated using a random-effects model.ResultsProblematic alcohol use was associated with significantly smaller hippocampal volume (d = −0.53). Moderator analyses indicated that effects were stronger for clinically significant v. subclinical alcohol use and among adults relative to adolescents; effects did not differ among males and females.ConclusionsProblematic alcohol use is associated with reduced hippocampal volume. The moderate overall effect size suggests the need for larger samples than are typically included in studies of alcohol use and hippocampal volume. Because the existing literature is almost entirely cross-sectional, future research using causally informative study designs is needed to determine whether this association reflects premorbid risk for the development of problematic alcohol use and/or whether alcohol has a neurotoxic effect on the hippocampus.

Objectives: Psychological effects of racism and discrimination may reflect both the common nature of differential treatment itself, distinctive ways that various types of discrimination impact adjustment outcomes, and ways in which individuals integrate these experiences within their ethnoracial group memberships. Everyday racial discrimination and police-related discrimination tend to be examined separately, and it remains unclear how individuals organize their racial identity to navigate these experiences with intergroup contact. Method: African American (N = 213, 61.5% women) and Asian American (N = 571, 49.6% women) university students were sampled to assess their exposure to everyday racial and police/law enforcement-related discrimination, elements of their racial identity, and psychological adjustment. Results: African Americans reported more experiences with both forms of discrimination, whereas exposure to both forms of discrimination was related more consistently to poorer psychological adjustment among Asian Americans. Multivariate regression analyses showed that different dimensions of racial identity accounted for different patterns of internalizing symptoms, hazardous alcohol use, and life satisfaction. Notably, higher levels of private regard were associated with better psychological adjustment among African Americans and Asian Americans. Among Asian Americans, higher levels of centrality were linked to greater internalizing symptoms whereas private regard reduced the correlations between everyday racial discrimination exposure and internalizing symptoms. Conclusions: Findings have implications for examining group-specific discrimination experiences through refined and comprehensive measurement, as well as the systematic consideration of identity dimensions as risks and promotive factors for psychological adjustment.
