Abstract

Objectives: To investigate patterns of cultural stress (racial discrimination and COVID stress) and their impact on ethnic identity and civic engagement among Asian American college students.

Method: 491 undergraduate students who self-identify as Asian American (female = 63.50%; M_age = 20.40, SD = 3.64) were recruited from seven college campuses.

Results: We identified four distinct cultural stress profiles: COVID-related stress, discrimination stress, double pandemic stress (high in both), and low combined COVID-discrimination stress. Double pandemic profile members were more likely to be immigrants and reported higher ethnic identity, civic behaviors, and belief in civic participation, whereas low combined COVID-discrimination stress participants reported significantly lower beliefs in civic participation compared to those in the double pandemic profile.

Conclusions: Findings reaffirm the need to focus on Asian Americans' experiences and expand current conceptualizations of cultural stress to include macrolevel structural processes (COVID stress and racial discrimination) and its implications for identity and civic engagement.

双重大流行：研究 COVID-19 大流行期间亚裔美国人的文化压力。

目标：调查亚裔美国大学生的文化压力（种族歧视和 COVID 压力）模式及其对种族认同和公民参与的影响：调查亚裔美国大学生的文化压力（种族歧视和 COVID 压力）模式及其对种族认同和公民参与的影响：从七所大学校园招募了 491 名自我认同为亚裔美国人的本科生（女生 = 63.50%；年龄 = 20.40，SD = 3.64）：结果：我们发现了四种不同的文化压力特征：结果：我们发现了四种不同的文化压力特征：与 COVID 相关的压力、歧视压力、双重大流行压力（两者均高）以及 COVID 和歧视的低综合压力。双重大流行特征的参与者更有可能是移民，并报告了更高的种族认同、公民行为和公民参与信念，而低COVID-歧视综合压力的参与者报告的公民参与信念明显低于双重大流行特征的参与者：结论：研究结果再次证明，有必要关注亚裔美国人的经历，并将当前的文化压力概念扩展到宏观结构过程（COVID 压力和种族歧视）及其对身份认同和公民参与的影响。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved）。
