Participants completed a one-time demographic questionnaire and ethnic identity measure (MEIM; Phinney, 1992). They also completed one daily diary entry each evening for 21 days. The daily diary entry consisted of 10 perceived discrimination items, 1 open-ended item, 13 affect items (PANAS-X; Watson & Clark, 1994) and 5 self-esteem items (R-SES; Rosenberg, 1965).

Abstract: Only within the past 30 years have psychologists begun to systematically examine the effects of perceived discrimination (PD) on stigmatized individuals. Since then, the research has offered a variety of findings that may initially seem to contradict one another. The majority of research conducted within a feedback-oriented paradigm has found that perceiving discrimination can help individuals externalize reasons for failure, therefore buffering self-esteem and well-being. Other lines of research have suggested that attributions to prejudice across time and contexts ultimately have deleterious effects on well-being, in spite of whatever short-term gains may result from externalizing failure. A recent structural equation model examining the effects of perceived discrimination has examined two paradoxical effects; (a) social rejection and (b) identification with one's in-group. While social rejection was found to be inversely related to well-being, ethnic identification was found to buffer the relationship between PD and well-being. By specifying both positive and negative consequences to PD, the Rejection-Identification Model (RIM) provided a deeper understanding of the complexity involved with stigmatization and the struggle faced by those targeted by discrimination. While the RIM has provided new insights and elucidated several key pathways in the formation of well-being, the model can be improved by incorporating current theory. First, the current study proposes that perceived discrimination only affects collective well-being directly, since discrimination, when perceived as motivated by racial prejudice, is an attack on a person's group-level identity. Any consequences to one's personal identity are thought to be indirect and likely mediated by collective well-being. Second, research stemming from Social Identity Theory suggests that collective well-being and personal well-being are interrelated; therefore, in so far as perceived discrimination affects well-being, collective well-being should have a direct effect on personal well-being. Additional limitations of the perceived discrimination literature include a paucity of research about how Asian Americans are affected by discrimination, inadequate sample sizes rendering poor power for modeling analyses, and an over-reliance on psychology undergraduate students for participants. Based on these findings, a refinement of the Rejection-Identification Model was proposed and fitted to data collected from 421 African American and Asian American participants. The participants were drawn from both undergraduate psychology classes and the community at-large. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that the hypothesized alterations to the RIM (RIM-Altered) produced the best fitting model. Consistent with the hypotheses of the study, perceived discrimination was not found to affect personal well-being directly and collective well-being was found to have a direct effect on personal well-being. Racial/ethnic group comparisons and sample comparisons suggested that the RIM-Altered fit both Asian American and African American sub-samples equally well, but that the RIM-Altered fit the college student sample significantly better than the community sample. Limitations, implications, and directions for future research are discussed.

South Asians have historically experienced discrimination in the United States (Sheth, 1995) and continue to experience discrimination today (Inman, Yeh, Maden-Bahel, & Nath, 2007). In fact, recent political and economic climates as well as demographic changes have made racism-related stress more salient for South Asian communities in the United States (Inman, 2006; Inman et al., 2007). For example, increases in discrimination for this group after September 11th, 2001, leave this group vulnerable to the negative consequences of racism and discrimination (Inman et al., 2007). Perceived discrimination and resulting discrimination related stress can be harmful for individuals in terms of their physical and psychological health (e.g., Utsey, Ponterotto, Reynolds, & Cancelli, 2000). More specifically, perceived discrimination potentially results in depression and anxiety (Cassidy, O'Connor, Howe & Warden, 2005) and negative effects on one's self-esteem and life satisfaction (Utsey, Payne, Jackson & Jones, 2002). Relatedly, researchers hypothesize that the relationship between discrimination and well-being variables (e.g., self-esteem) may be mediated or explained by variables such as perceived stress (e.g., Carter, 2007). Furthermore, others (e.g., Harrell, 2000) have theorized that moderating variables such as generational status may also influence outcomes of experiencing discrimination. While research illustrates the mental health effects of discrimination among other communities, it has not comprehensively examined the effects of these experiences on South Asians' well-being. Thus, this study examined the potential mediating role of racism related stress and the potential moderating role of generational status in the experience of discrimination for 210 South Asians living in the United States. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the General Ethnic Discrimination Scale (Landrine, Klonoff, Corral, Fernandez & Roesch, 2006), the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985). Results showed that the hypothesized structural equation model fit well for first and second generation South Asians; yet, mediation and moderation were not supported. However, perceived discrimination significantly related to perceived stress for both groups of South Asians. Implications for theory, research and practice are included.

In this study, Romero and Roberts' model (1998) and Phinney's causal model (1997) were used as frameworks to test the relationship between ethnic identity, in-group attitudes, out-group attitudes, and the perception of discrimination. Among Asian American, Korean American, and Korean students. These models tested direct effects of ethic identity on perceived discrimination and indirect effects mediated by in-group attitudes and out-group attitudes. School-based surveys in California and Korea were undertaken with seventh grade Asian American (n=576), Korean American (n=146), and Korean (n=130) students using multiple measures of the UCLA Middle School Diversity Project (MSDP). Structural equation modeling (SEM) in EQS indicated that both direct and indirect effects were found: higher ethnic identity was associated with more perceived discrimination for the direct effect; higher ethnic identity was associated with less perceived discrimination, through positive in-group attitudes and out-group attitudes for the indirect effect. The model was the same in all three ethnic groups. This model may capture relatively core psychological processes--those that operate in a similar fashion across a variety of groups. These results have important implications: while there are unique socio-cultural factors surrounding these groups' experiences, some of the more core processes operate similarly among Asian ethnic groups.

This research study sought to examine moderating and mediating factors in Asian Americans psychological distress by using data from the National Latino and Asian American study (NLAAS), the first national psychiatric epidemiological survey of Asian Americans in the United States (NLAAS, 2002-03). A sample of 2095 Asian American adults was selected from the NLAAS data set which was based on stratified probability sampling methodology. The in-person computer-assisted interviews were conducted in the respondent's preferred language by usually culturally relevant and equivalent scales or instruments. It was hypothesized that Family Factor would mediate/moderate the effects of Acculturation Stress and Perceived Discrimination (Everyday/Specific Racial) on Psychological Distress. Similarly, Social Support was hypothesized to mediate/moderate the effects of Acculturation Stress and Perceived Discrimination (Everyday, Specific Racial) on Psychological Distress. Finally, Ethnic Identity was also hypothesized to mediate/moderate the effect of Perceived Discrimination (Everyday/Specific Racial) on Psychological Distress. A series of multiple regression analyses were used to empirically test mediating and moderating models of Asian American Psychological Distress. Family Conflict was observed to be a mediating as well as a moderating factor in Asian Americans' Psychological Distress. Family Conflict partially mediated the effects of both Acculturation Stress and Racial Discrimination (Everyday and Specific) on Psychological Distress. Family Conflict also moderated the effect of Everyday Discriminiation on Psychological Distress. Social Support played a crucial moderating factor on Asian Americans' Psychological Distress. Social Support with Relatives partially moderated the effect of both Acculturation Stress and Racial Discrimination (Everyday and Specific) on Psychological Distress. Problems with Social Support also moderated the effects of Everyday Discrimination on Psychological Distress. Implications for counselors along with future research directions were also discussed.

Depression is a debilitating disorder that impacts individuals across all ethnic backgrounds. Asian American populations, however, are particularly at risk for suffering complications from the disorder as they deal with environmental stressors, such as discrimination, and pervasive cultural stigma and misperceptions of mental illness. This study examines whether measures of self-esteem buffers the impact of discriminatory experiences and outcomes of depression. The hypotheses posit that perceived discrimination is positively correlated to depression, with higher self-esteem serving as a buffer for negative mental health outcomes. Analysis of the data revealed that higher measures of self-esteem were linked to less depression. However, perceived discrimination was not found to be significantly related to outcomes of depression. Asian American females who experienced discrimination reported feeling more depressed than their male counterparts.

ABSTRACT: Prior research links reported experiences of racist and sexist events with psychological symptomatology of racial/ethnic minority persons and women, respectively (e.g., Bowen-Reid & Harrell, 2002; Fischer & Holz, 2007; Moradi & Risco, 2006; Moradi & Subich, 2002). No published study to date, however, has examined the simultaneous links of perceived racist and sexist events with mental health for Asian American women. The present study examined a model that tested direct and indirect relations among perceived discrimination, sense of personal control, psychological distress, self-esteem, acculturation, and enculturation in a sample of Asian American women. Path analysis of the model indicated that (a) perceived racist events were related to greater psychological distress, indirectly through sense of personal control, (b) perceived sexist events were related directly to greater psychological distress, (c) acculturation to U.S. culture was related to less psychological distress and greater self-esteem, indirectly through sense of personal control and (d) enculturation to culture of origin was related to less psychological distress and greater self-esteem, indirectly through sense of personal control.
