Abstract

Objectives: The present study has two aims: (a) to examine the frequency of various microaggression types experienced by Asian and Black Americans and (b) to examine cognitive reappraisal as a moderator of the relationship between microaggression types and general health.

Method: Two hundred seventy-one Black and Asian American participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk completed a cross-sectional online survey. The Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions Scale was used to assess the frequency with which participants experienced six different types of microaggressions. Cognitive reappraisal was assessed by the cognitive reappraisal subscale of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. General health was assessed by the RAND 36-item Short Form Health Survey.

Results: We found that Black Americans experienced higher levels of Inferiority, Criminality, Workplace/School Microaggressions and Microinvalidations than Asian Americans. In contrast, Asian Americans experienced greater Exoticization and Environmental Microaggressions. There were ethnic/racial group differences in whether cognitive reappraisal moderated the relationships between microaggression types and general health.

Conclusions: Our findings highlight important differences in the types of microaggressions experienced across ethnic/racial groups, and the role of cognitive reappraisal in influencing the detrimental effects of microaggressions on general health.

美国黑人和亚裔美国人的微观诽谤与总体健康：认知再评价的调节作用。

研究目的本研究有两个目的：(a) 研究亚裔美国人和美国黑人经历的各种微侵害类型的频率；(b) 研究认知再评价作为微侵害类型与总体健康之间关系的调节因素：从亚马逊 Mechanical Turk 上招募的 271 名黑人和亚裔美国人完成了一项横断面在线调查。种族和族裔微侵害量表用于评估参与者遭受六种不同类型微侵害的频率。认知再评价通过情绪调节问卷的认知再评价分量表进行评估。一般健康状况通过兰德 36 项简表健康调查进行评估：我们发现，与亚裔美国人相比，美国黑人经历了更高水平的自卑、犯罪、工作场所/学校微侵害和微评价。相比之下，亚裔美国人经历了更多的异域化和环境微侵害。在认知再评价是否调节微侵害类型与总体健康之间的关系方面，存在着种族/族裔群体差异：我们的研究结果凸显了不同民族/种族群体在微侵害类型方面的重要差异，以及认知再评价在影响微侵害对总体健康的不利影响方面所起的作用。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
