Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explores the moderating role of Ethnic and Racial Identity (ERI) in the relations between perceived racial discrimination and Asian immigrants’ psychological distress. Using survey data from 2,059 Asian immigrants in the United States, we found that perceived racial discrimination significantly predicted higher psychological distress. In addition, ethnic and racial identity (ERI) moderated the relations between perceived racial discrimination and psychological distress. Unexpectedly, ethnic and racial identity did not buffer Asian immigrants the negative mental health effects of perceived racial discrimination. The association was moderated, but in a negative way. Implications for practice is discussed.

民族和种族身份（ERI）作为缓冲亚洲移民种族歧视的反作用

摘要本研究探讨了族裔和种族认同（ERI）在感知种族歧视与亚洲移民心理困扰之间的关系中的调节作用。利用2059名美国亚裔移民的调查数据，我们发现，感知到的种族歧视显著预测了更高的心理痛苦。此外，种族和种族认同（ERI）调节了感知到的种族歧视与心理困扰之间的关系。出乎意料的是，种族和种族认同并没有缓冲亚洲移民感受到的种族歧视对心理健康的负面影响。该协会受到了缓和，但表现出了消极的态度。讨论了对实践的启示。
