本研究探讨归属感在种族微侵犯与抑郁症状关系中的调节作用。通过对美国一所以白人为主的大学的亚裔学生（N = 553）的调查数据，我们发现种族微侵犯和归属感显著预测抑郁症状。此外，归属感调节了种族微侵犯与抑郁症状的关系。具体而言，较高的归属感对种族微侵犯对抑郁症状的有害影响具有反作用。讨论了对高等教育研究和实践的启示。
This study explored the moderating role of sense of belonging on the relations between racial microaggressions and depressive symptoms. Using survey data from students of Asian descent in the United States (N = 553) at a predominantly White university, we found that racial microaggressions and sense of belonging significantly predicted depressive symptoms. In addition, sense of belonging moderated the relations between racial microaggressions and depressive symptoms. Specifically, having a higher level of sense of belonging had a counter effect against the detrimental impact of racial microaggressions on the depressive symptoms. Implications for research and practice in higher education are discussed.
