Abstract

In this study, we explored racial microaggressions (RMAs) and adoption microaggressions (AMAs) experienced and committed by white adoptive parents of transracial adoptees. Two research questions guided this inquiry: (a) What types of RMAs and AMAs do white adoptive parents of children adopted from China experience and commit? and (b) how is white adoptive parental awareness of race and adoption related to their committing of microaggressions? Based on qualitative coding of interviews conducted with 39 white adoptive parents of Chinese adoptees, the most frequently coded AMA was Biology is Best for experienced AMAs and Phantom Birth Parents for committed AMAs. Alien in Own Land was the most experienced RMA, and Color Evasiveness was the most committed RMA. Parents tended to have high awareness of the AMAs (87%) and RMAs (89%) they experienced from others, yet this awareness did not preclude them from committing RMAs and AMAs within their transracially adoptive family.

领养中国儿童的白人父母、微观偏见和父母对偏见的认识。

在本研究中，我们探讨了跨种族领养儿童的白人养父母所经历和犯下的种族微冒犯（RMAs）和领养微冒犯（AMAs）。本研究有两个问题：(a) 从中国收养儿童的白人养父母经历和实施了哪些类型的种族微观诽谤和收养微观诽谤？ (b) 白人养父母对种族和收养的认识与他们实施微观诽谤有什么关系？根据对 39 位收养中国被收养儿童的白人养父母的访谈进行的定性编码，最常被编码为 "生物是最好的"（Biology is Best）的微小冒犯是有经验的微小冒犯，而 "魅影亲生父母"（Phantom Birth Parents）则是有承诺的微小冒犯。外国人在自己的土地上 "是最有经验的RMA，而 "肤色回避 "是最坚定的RMA。父母往往对他们从他人那里经历的AMA（87%）和RMA（89%）有很高的认识，但这种认识并不妨碍他们在跨种族收养家庭中实施RMA和AMA。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，版权所有。）
