Abstract

Objective: South Asian U.S. college students experience socialization from South Asian cultures they grew up with and White culture outside the South Asian community. The present study considers that the ways of navigating two conflicting cultures and experiences of shame are associated with anxiety and life satisfaction among South Asian U.S. college students.

Method: An anonymous survey, distributed to 271 South Asian students (mean age = 22, 38.2% male, 59.2% female, 2.3% nonbinary), quantitively assessed how bicultural stress and shame are related to anxiety and life satisfaction. Open-ended questions asked students to describe experiences of bicultural identity stressors and shame.

Results: Survey results indicated bicultural stress and shame as predictors of anxiety and lower life satisfaction. Thematic analysis of open-ended question responses revealed experienced stressors related to academics, finances, family expectations, and fitting in. Shame experiences were tied to bicultural stress and family and self-imposed expectations of participants.

Conclusions: There is a need to further investigate the relationships found in the present study and explore ways to support South Asian students experiencing bicultural stress and shame. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

双文化压力和羞耻感对美国南亚大学生福祉的影响。

目的：美国南亚裔大学生经历着来自其成长环境中的南亚文化和南亚社区外的白人文化的社会化。本研究认为，美国南亚裔大学生在两种相互冲突的文化中游刃有余的方式和羞耻感体验与焦虑和生活满意度有关：向 271 名南亚裔学生（平均年龄 = 22 岁，38.2% 为男性，59.2% 为女性，2.3% 为非二元性别）发放了匿名调查问卷，对双文化压力和羞耻感与焦虑和生活满意度的关系进行了量化评估。开放式问题要求学生描述双文化身份压力和羞耻感的经历：调查结果：调查结果显示，双文化压力和羞耻感是焦虑和较低生活满意度的预测因素。对开放式问题回答的主题分析表明，所经历的压力与学业、经济、家庭期望和融入有关。羞耻感则与双文化压力、家庭和参与者的自我期望有关：结论：有必要进一步研究本研究中发现的关系，并探索如何为经历双文化压力和羞耻感的南亚学生提供支持。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
