Abstract

FOB (fresh-off-the-boat) is a term used to refer to unassimilated immigrants or sojourners, which has created a divide within the Asian community. In this study, we coined the term FOBism, a form of internalized racism (or appropriated racial oppression) that intersects with assimilation, and we developed a measure of FOBism. We created a 14-item, 3-factor FOBism Scale and evaluated its psychometric properties among a sample of 296 Asians in the United States. Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) was utilized to select items and evaluate the factorial validity. Results yielded a strong factor structure, internal consistency reliability, and construct validity. Construct validity was demonstrated through FOBism scores' positive correlations with measures of within-group discrimination and internalized racism, and negative associations with an Asian cultural orientation. The FOBism Scale is a promising measure that could be used as an assessment tool and to raise awareness of the phenomenon.

揭开 FOBism 的面纱：量化美国亚裔内部的同化种族主义。

FOB（fresh-off-the-boat）是一个用来指未被同化的移民或寄居者的术语，它在亚裔社区中造成了分歧。在本研究中，我们创造了 "FOB主义 "一词，这是一种与同化交织在一起的内化种族主义（或侵占性种族压迫），我们还开发了一种 "FOB主义 "测量方法。我们编制了一个 14 个项目、3 个因素的 FOBism 量表，并在美国 296 名亚裔样本中对其心理测量特性进行了评估。我们利用探索性结构方程模型（ESEM）来选择项目和评估因子效度。结果显示，该量表具有较强的因子结构、内部一致性可靠性和结构效度。FOB主义得分与群体内歧视和内化种族主义的测量结果呈正相关，而与亚洲文化取向呈负相关，这证明了该量表的结构效度。FOB主义量表是一种很有前途的测量方法，可用作评估工具并提高人们对这一现象的认识。
