Ethnicity and worldviews associated with attributing responsibility for COVID-19 to people of Asian descent: Evidence from Canada
Across the world, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has intensified stigmatization and discrimination against various ethnic groups, especially people of Asian descent. The present study explored the factors associated with attributing responsibility for COVID-19 to Asians among European Canadians and Asian residents of Canada. Specifically, we explored the role of religiosity, fate control, taking precautionary measures, reported life changes due to COVID-19, and ethnicity in attributing responsibility for COVID-19 to people of Asian descent. A sample of 277 participants residing in Canada (Mage = 31.16, SD = 5.87) completed an online survey. Results indicated that Asian residents in Canada rather than European Canadians and being male were associated with attributing responsibility for COVID-19 to Asians. A stronger belief in fate control, having made greater life changes, and having taken fewer precautionary measures against COVID-19 were associated with higher levels of attributing COVID-19 responsibility to Asians. Findings offer important insights regarding the negative stereotypes and biases that emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be used to promote awareness that ensures communities come together in the face of similar future challenges.
期刊介绍:
IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
