For this special issue, eight manuscripts were accepted. The contributions showcase a range of indigenous psychological concepts and practices in the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. These include the Filipino values of "kapwa" (shared identity) and Indonesian values of "Mangan ora mangan sing penting kumpul" and "Dalihan Na Tolu" (both referring to the importance of kinship) in relation to one's preferred sources of social supports, Filipino coping strategies of "diskarte" (resourcefulness) and "bayanihan" (mutual, collective support) in managing mental health challenges, the "Sikolohiyang Pilipino" (Filipino Psychology) movement in the Philippines, the "kiasu" mindset (fear of losing out), and traditional Chinese healing practices of "dang-ki" (consultations with a divine deity) in Singapore. The contributions all address sustainable development goals in SEA communities, such as mental health challenges and practices in Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore;the marginalization of ethnic minority groups;effects of postcolonialism in the Philippines and Malaysia;and issues of urbanization, deforestation, and climate change in Malaysia. Some assessed specifically the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on SEA populations' well-being, including comparisons of COVID-19 stigma and quality of life in Indonesia and the Philippines, the associated factors of self-harm and suicide ideation among Chinese Indonesians, and the mental health challenges faced and coping strategies utilized by doctors working in rural areas in the Philippines.

Abstract: This essay pays homage to indigenous psychology by reiterating its central theme – decolonization – through a variant of the theme in the call for an ontological turn. Ontology refers to human’s basic commitments and assumptions about reality, namely what things are, and what they could be. It is argued that ontologies have consequences. The ontology of objects privileged in science facilitates the acquisition of objective knowledge in the physical world, but cannot improve our understanding of the culturally different other whose lives may be shaped by ontology of subjects. Ethnographic data from Southeast Asia are used as illustration of how ontology of subjects may fill a moral vacuum in value-neutral science and give psychology better insights into the problems of advanced technology ranging from automatization to global warming.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the differential impact of various COVID-19 stressors (economic, infection fears, grief, and lockdown stressors) and their cumulative impact on peri-post-COVID-19 syndrome. Peri-post-COVID-19 syndrome (PPCS) is a mental health and cognitive syndrome associated with chronic traumatic stress, particularly COVID-19. The sample consisted of 490 Kuwaiti citizens aged 18–60 years ( M = 24.97, SD = 9.10), with 66.3% being female. Data were collected from October 2021 to January 2022. We assessed how individuals felt about COVID-19 stressors, cumulative traumatic events and stressors, complex PTSD (CPTSD), PTSD, anxiety, depression, and executive functions. A structural equation was used to test the differential and cumulative impact of COVID-19 stressors. COVID-19 cumulative stressors, especially lockdown, had the strongest correlation with CPTSD. The highest variance was accounted for by lockdown stressors ( R2 = .752). COVID-19 cumulative stressors had a medium-to-large effect on PPCS. In the affluent Kuwaiti context, lockdown stressors appear to have a greater impact on mental health and executive dysfunction than other COVID-19 stressors. In the PPCS, CPTSD appears to be the most robust outcome variable. Conceptually, the study provided preliminary evidence of the PPCS and associated cognitive deficits as powerful drivers for COVID-19 and of continuous/prolonged traumatic stress for COVID-19. The study highlighted the need for innovation in developing multiparameter intervention strategies with a pericognitive and cognitive training component to address the multiple impacts of the pandemic.

Abstract: Aggressive traits and situational factors interact to influence the propensity for aggressive behavior. Individuals’ sensitivity to the situational factors' provocation and frustration are assessed by the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses (STAR) scale subscales sensitivity to provocation (SP) and sensitivity to frustration (SF). The aims of this paper were to (1) briefly summarize the basic theory supporting the STAR scale, (2) review previous cross-cultural findings for these STAR constructs, (3) discuss the Greek factorial structure and its cross-cultural validity, (4) describe the methodological-statistical and psychometric properties for a Greek normative sample ( N = 1,094), and (5) provide Greek norms and other application aspects regarding the STAR scale. The aforementioned are discussed in the context of both a broader methodological-statistical scope and an applied scope. Finally, and with respect to psychological intervention, a method that can be applied to any sample, independently of the existence of norms, is discussed, for multivariately identifying extreme SP and SF cases (outliers).

Abstract: Background: The university years are associated with a variety of stressors, and recently, COVID-19 has presented an additional burden on students’ mental well-being. As mental health manifestations of stressors may differ between countries, this study compared students from Switzerland and the Republic of Georgia regarding the burden of stressors and the role of potentially culture-dependent risk and protective factors of mental health (i.e., help-seeking, cross-cultural coping, fatalism, sense of coherence). Method: We assessed two samples of university students in Georgia ( N = 425) and German-speaking Switzerland ( N = 298), using a cross-sectional design. Quantitative data were collected with online questionnaires during the third wave of the pandemic. Mental health screenings included measures of depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorder. Results: General life- and COVID-19-related stress levels were higher in Georgia than in Switzerland. Georgian students experienced more adjustment disorder symptoms but lower levels of depression and anxiety. While Swiss students reported more protective factors (formal and informal help-seeking, sense of coherence), Georgian students experienced more risk factors (fatalism and avoidance coping). Despite significant correlations between potentially culture-dependent risk and protective factors and mental health, few associations remained significant above and beyond the impact of general life stress. Conclusions: The high prevalence of stressors and adjustment disorder symptoms and risk factors for mental health among Georgian students illustrates a potential need for psychosocial support with stress management. The cross-cultural applicability of Western models of student mental health services should be evaluated.

Abstract. As immigration to Canada increases, the complexities associated with serving newcomers (immigrants, refugees, temporary foreign workers, and international students) of diverse ethnogeographical backgrounds also increase. A range of stakeholder groups including researchers, policy makers, immigrant service provider organizations, and newcomer grassroots community organizations aim to help ease the process of settlement and integration for newcomers. A community-based knowledge engagement hub, which has been previously applied in the Indigenous community context, can facilitate the reciprocal flow of knowledge between those involved in newcomer settlement and inform newcomer-centered practice, policy, and research on settlement issues.

Abstract. Substance use among Nigerian adolescents has increased significantly in the past decade, highlighting the need to implement evidence-based, effective prevention programs as one strategy to help reverse this trend. This study aimed to identify profiles of adolescent substance use and parenting and school correlates of these profiles to inform preventive interventions. Latent class analysis identified four distinct use patterns in 2,004 adolescents (46% male; M = 14.8 years) attending public and private schools in Lagos. Low levels of use distinguished the Low Use class (92.1% of the sample), while use of alcohol, cigarettes, and codeine defined the Alcohol Use class (2.9%). Moderate to high use of tramadol and codeine without a prescription differentiated the Nonmedical Use class (2.8%), and high use of most substances defined the High Use class (2.1%). Males, older youth, and private school students engaged in the riskiest substance use. Students in the Low Use class compared to students in the High Use class were more likely to attend public schools and had parents who solicited less information from them but were more disapproving of substance use. Students in the Low Use class relative to students in the Alcohol Use class also were more likely to attend public schools and had parents who solicited less information but knew more about their child’s activities. These findings suggest that tailored preventive interventions with parents and adolescents could be useful and that more research is needed to understand how the private school context confers risk for substance use.
