Divining Structural Factors Related to Intervention Success or Failure: Cultural Sexism Versus Other Macro-Level Factors

Comments on the article by M. A. Price et al. (see record 2022-06058-008). The spatial meta-analysis by Price et al. examined whether the efficacy of psychotherapy for girls might depend on how supportive the cultural milieu is where the therapy took place. Price et al. (2021) found support for their hypothesis: Over and above micro-level factors examined (e.g., whether an active control was included, mental health problem targeted), psychotherapy interventions conducted in states with lower cultural sexism levels succeeded better than did those conducted in states with higher cultural sexism. In turn, the current article discusses the meaning of cultural sexism and explores other macro-level factors that may also be implicated. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
