A Content and Methodological Analysis of 35 Years of Latino/a-Focused Research
Liang, Christopher T. H.; Salcedo, Jime; Rivera, Amanda L. Y.; Lopez, Mayra J.
Counseling Psychologist, v37 n8 p1116-1146 2009
Two separate studies were conducted to examine the contents and methodology of Latino/a-focused articles published during a period of 35 years in seven major journals used by counseling psychologists as well as the "Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences." Together, the two studies suggest that acculturation, academic achievement, assessment, and alcohol, drugs, and tobacco use were the most common topics of inquiry. The results of these two studies also suggest that descriptive field methodologies were most commonly used and that convenience sampling procedures were used most frequently. Trends in the coverage of published research provide some evidence of the increased attention to Latino/a-focused research literature. However, results also indicate that Latino/a-focused articles represented only 2% of the total number of articles published in non-ethnic-specific journals. These two studies also illuminate potentially worthwhile areas for future inquiry. (Contains 9 tables.)
