作者在主位和主位框架内研究了感知到的种族歧视对亚裔美国和拉丁裔大学生各种心理健康结果的影响。结果表明，亚裔美国人和拉丁裔大学生对各种歧视经历了类似的接触和反应。然而，拉丁裔学生比亚裔美国学生更有可能被指控做错事，例如作弊和违法，并且更有可能认为这些经历有压力。亚裔美国人的特质焦虑风险更高。无论种族如何，感知到的种族歧视都与一些负面的心理健康结果相关，包括更高的心理困扰、自杀意念、状态焦虑、特质焦虑和抑郁。调查结果强调需要解决多种社会和专业环境中的歧视问题，并了解广泛的心理健康结果。
The authors examined the impact of perceived racial discrimination on various mental health outcomes for Asian American and Latino college students within an emic and etic framework. Results indicate that Asian American and Latino college students experienced similar exposure and reactions to various kinds of discrimination. However, Latino students were more likely than Asian American students to have been accused of doing something wrong, such as cheating and breaking the law, and more likely to appraise these experiences as stressful. Asian Americans evidenced higher risk for trait anxiety. Regardless of ethnicity, perceived racial discrimination was associated with several negative mental health outcomes, including higher psychological distress, suicidal ideation, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and depression. Findings highlight the need to address discrimination across multiple social and professional settings and to understand the broad array of mental health outcomes.
