Latino Invisibility in the Pandemic.

Devastating effects of COVID-19 among Latinos have not been adequately emphasized or addressed by media, public health experts, researchers, or government officials. Moreover, the underreporting of the crisis' effect on Latinos and the undercounting of cases continues even as programs, initiatives, and policies are designed and implemented to mitigate the spread of the virus; to allocate resources to lessen the economic, educational, housing, and nutritional consequences of COVID; and to direct recovery planning. The invisibility and systematic neglect of the Latino population has contributed to Latino individuals' disproportionately high rates of infection, hospitalization, and death. Changing the COVID-19 narrative is necessary in order to ensure appropriate and equitable responses to the pandemic's effect on Latinos.

Los efectos devastadores de la COVID-19 entre los latinos no han sido destacados ni abordados adecuadamente por los medios, expertos en salud pública, investigadores o funcionarios de gobierno. Por otra parte, el subregistro del efecto de la crisis en los latinos y el conteo incompleto de casos continúa, incluso mientras se diseñan e implementan programas, iniciativas y políticas para mitigar la propagación del virus; asignar recursos con el fin de atenuar las consecuencias económicas, educativas, habitacionales y nutricionales de la COVID y dirigir la planificación de la recuperación. La invisibilidad y el abandono sistemático de dicha población ha contribuido a tasas desproporcionadamente altas de infección, hospitalización y muerte de latinos. Es necesario cambiar la narrativa de la COVID-19 para garantizar respuestas adecuadas y equitativas al efecto de la pandemia en los latinos.

Jealousy and the meaning (or nonmeaning) of violence.

Previous research has indicated that jealousy is one of the major triggers of domestic violence. Three studies here examined North Americans' ambivalent feelings about jealousy and jealousy-related aggression. In Study 1, it was shown that participants believed both that jealousy can be a sign of insecurity and a sign of love. In Study 2, it was shown that this equating of jealousy with love can lead to the tacit acceptance of jealousy-related violence. In Study 3, it was shown that a relative acceptance of jealousy-related aggression extends to cases of emotional and sexual abuse by husbands against their wives. In both Studies 2 and 3, men who hit or abused their wives over a jealousy-related matter were judged to romantically love their wives as much as those who did not engage in abuse. Violence in the context of a non-jealousy-related argument was seen quite negatively, but it lost a great deal of its negativity in the jealousy case.
