Abstract

As COVID-19 spread in the United States, anti-East Asian bias increased. This article aimed to (1) show that thinking about COVID-19 heightened East Asian individuals' anxious expectations of discrimination and (2) explore these expectations' health correlates. Specifically, the paper focused on COVID-19-triggered race-based rejection sensitivity, defined as (1) East Asian individuals' expectations of rejection due to the stereotype that they spread the virus and (2) high levels of anxiety about this possibility. Study 1 (N = 412) showed that reminders of COVID-19 increased COVID-19-triggered race-based rejection sensitivity among Chinese citizens living in the United States and East Asian Americans, but not Americans of other races. Study 2 (N = 473) demonstrated that East Asian people who habitually focused on COVID-19 experienced greater COVID-19-triggered race-based rejection sensitivity and, in turn, greater sleep difficulties. Thus, societal-level shifts that target minoritized groups may increase minoritized group members' concerns about discrimination in ways that undermine their health.

我不是病毒:美国东亚人在COVID-19期间基于身份的排斥敏感性和睡眠
随着新冠肺炎疫情在美国扩散,反东亚偏见加剧。本文旨在(1)表明,对COVID-19的思考加剧了东亚个体对歧视的焦虑预期,(2)探索这些预期与健康的相关性。具体来说,本文关注的是covid -19引发的基于种族的排斥敏感性,定义为:(1)东亚个体由于他们传播病毒的刻板印象而对排斥的期望;(2)对这种可能性的高度焦虑。研究1 (N = 412)显示,在居住在美国的中国公民和东亚美国人中,提醒COVID-19会增加COVID-19引发的基于种族的排斥敏感性,而其他种族的美国人则不会。研究2 (N = 473)表明,习惯关注COVID-19的东亚人经历了更大的COVID-19引发的基于种族的排斥敏感性,进而出现了更大的睡眠困难。因此,针对少数群体的社会层面转变可能会增加少数群体成员对歧视的担忧,从而损害他们的健康。
