4 Preface The volume editors for this 57th volume of the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation are Gustavo Carlo, Lisa Crockett and Miguel Carranza. The volume editors coordinated the symposium that lead to this volume including selecting and inviting the contributors. My thanks go to the Gus, Lisa and Miguel and to our contributors for outstanding presentations and chapters. This interdisciplinary work on health disparities is a proud addition to this historic series. This Symposium series is supported by funds provided by the Chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Harvey Perlman, and by funds given in memory of Professor Harry K. Wolfe to the University of Nebraska Foundation by the late Professor Cora L. Friedline. We are extremely grateful for the Chancellor s generous support of the Symposium series and for the University of Nebraska Foundation s support via the Friedline bequest. This symposium volume, like those in the recent past, is dedicated to the memory of Professor Wolfe, who brought psychology to the University of Nebraska. After studying with Professor Wilhelm Wundt, Professor Wolfe returned to this, his native state, to establish the first undergraduate laboratory in psychology in the nation. As a student at Nebraska, Professor Friedline studied psychology under Professor Wolfe. Debra A. Hope University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Series Editor v
