Racist rhetoric toward East and Southeast Asian Americans and Canadians during COVID-19 tends to center on three themes-unclean food practices, eating any kind of animal, and spreading diseases-that form an \"Asian health hazard\" stereotype. For East and Southeast Asians in Canada and the U.S., believing that their group is being perceived as \"health hazards\" is associated with lower psychological well-being. The anti-Asian sentiment in Canada and the U.S during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic centers on perceptions of East and Southeast Asians as \"health hazards\", due to their alleged animal-eating habits, uncleanliness, and tendency to spread diseases. In a preregistered study, we demonstrated that for East and Southeast Asians in Canada and the U.S., their belief that society holds the Asian health hazard stereotype was associated with higher distress and lower life satisfaction. No differences were observed between East and Southeast Asian Americans (n = 352) and Canadians (n = 351), as well as Chinese and non-Chinese participants. Importantly, these effects were robust to pandemic- and discrimination-related stressors. We also demonstrated that Asian health hazard and perpetual foreigner stereotypes were psychometrically distinct. Overall, our findings highlight how perceptions of negative societal views, particularly those reminiscent of the Yellow Peril narrative, are uniquely associated with psychological well-being among East and Southeast Asian Americans and Canadians.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":"45 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72414231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"From model minority to racial threat: Chinese transracial adoptees’ experience navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.","authors":"H. Wing, Jennie Park-Taylor","doi":"10.1037/aap0000283","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/aap0000283","url":null,"abstract":"This qualitative study explores Chinese transracial adoptees' experiences navigating the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, focusing on identity negotiation, sense of belonging, and encounters with COVID-19-related racism at the familial, community, and societal level. Participants (N = 20) were Chinese transracial adoptees, born in China and raised in White adoptive families in the United States, between the ages of 19 and 28 (M = 23.1), who were between 6 and 16 months (M = 9.5) when they were adopted. Data collected through in-depth, semistructured individual interviews, conducted via Zoom, were coded using phenomenological analysis. Findings suggest a superordinate theme in which COVID-19 presents a multipronged threat to Chinese transracial adoptees. Not only are they unjustly feared and judged by others, but their physical safety and psychological well-being are in jeopardy. This overarching theme was characterized by three core themes: (a) from model minority to racial threat, (b) questioning of identity and sense of belonging, and (c) COVID-19 pandemic as evoking thoughts of adoption. Subsequently, the following eight subthemes emerged: (a) Asian Americans perceived as a racial threat, (b) ongoing denial of anti-Asian racism, (c) coping with COVID-19-related racism, (d) solidarity with the Asian community yet deidentification with Chinese identity, (e) increased sense of being a perpetual foreigner in the U.S., (f) feeling of in-betweenness amplified by sociopolitical tension, (g) increased thoughts of birth parents, and (h) feelings about past and present restrictive government policies in China. Study limitations and future clinical and research directions are discussed. What is the public significance of this article? The present study offers insight into Chinese transracial adoptees' experience negotiating their racial identity and sense of belonging within their White families and in the United States amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings have the potential to give voice to Chinese transracial adoptees and their unique marginalization experiences, and increase acceptance of Chinese transracial adoptees within Asian American spaces and the U.S. at large.","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":"379 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84959698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
