目的调查与美国亚裔在COVID-19期间遭受污名化相关的因素以及可以减轻或防止污名化的因素。研究设计于2020年5月11日至5月19日在网上对全国成年人（N = 842）进行了抽样调查。结果变量为污名化、责任和风险人两个维度。进行分层回归分析。结果种族偏见、不适应的应对方式和有偏见的媒体使用都能解释污名化。种族偏见，包括刻板印象的信念和情感对亚裔美国人，是一个更强的预测比适应不良的应对或偏见的媒体使用的污名化。对持续的COVID-19疫情的恐惧以及社交媒体和党派有线电视的使用也预示着污名化。应对COVID-19的自我效能低，与COVID-19的高估计危害相关时，会增加污名化。在处理COVID-19方面，高感知的机构效率增加了与COVID-19的高估计危害相关的污名化。另一方面，在应对COVID-19方面，高感知的集体效能与低污名化相关。通过媒体与亚洲人的间接接触越多，污名化就越少。结论：减少污名化的努力应该通过向公众提供教育和资源来解决种族刻板印象和情绪，适应不良的应对方式和有偏见的媒体使用。培养集体效能和与亚裔美国人的媒体接触可以促进这些努力。
Objective To investigate factors associated with the stigmatization of people of Asian descent during COVID-19 in the United States and factors that can mitigate or prevent stigmatization. Design A national sample survey of adults (N = 842) was conducted online between May 11 and May 19, 2020. Outcome variables were two dimensions of stigmatization, responsibility and persons as risk. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed. Results Racial prejudice, maladaptive coping, and biased media use each explained stigmatization. Racial prejudice, comprising stereotypical beliefs and emotion toward Asian Americans, was a stronger predictor of stigmatization than maladaptive coping or biased media use. Fear concerning the ongoing COVID-19 situation and the use of social media and partisan cable TV also predicted stigmatization. Low self-efficacy in dealing with COVID-19, when associated with high estimated harm of COVID-19, increased stigmatization. High perceived institutional efficacy in the handling of COVID-19 increased stigmatization when linked to high estimated harm of COVID-19. On the other hand, high perceived collective efficacy in coping with COVID-19 was associated with low stigmatization. More indirect contacts with Asians via the media predicted less stigmatization. Conclusions Efforts to reduce stigmatization should address racial stereotypes and emotions, maladaptive coping, and biased media use by providing education and resources to the public. Fostering collective efficacy and media-based contacts with Asian Americans can facilitate these efforts.
