PROJECT ABSTRACT Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial group in the U.S., yet the pressing need to address mental health has been woefully underrecognized, with little resources designated to address these concerns. Asian American adolescents report the highest level of racial discrimination by peers relative to other racial groups, a major issue given the robust relationship between discrimination and mental health. Critically, Anti-Asian discrimination and assaults have increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic with blame cast on Asians for bringing about the pandemic. Despite the urgent needs and the concerns expressed by parents about discrimination, few studies have examined how Asian American parents and adolescents recognize and respond to anti-Asian racial discrimination. Through survey and virtual videotaped observations that take place in their homes, our project will examine how Chinese American parents and adolescents determine whether an incident is discriminatory and problematic. Through the sample of 116 dyads, we will also study how Chinese American parents and their adolescent children (16-18 years) talk about racial bias. Parents and children are asked to discuss what they would do when confronted by a hypothetical scenario with which they are the target of an act of racial bias (e.g., being blamed for the COVID-19 pandemic in a public space). Our objective is to describe the ability to recognize and the means in which parents and adolescents respond emotionally and behaviorally to such a situation. Both non-verbal and verbal content obtained from the observational sessions will be captured. These include analysis of emotional expressions as well as what parents and adolescents state they would do in such a situation (e.g., explain to the perpetrator that they are wrong, use humor). We will also examine any suggestions or expectations that parents and adolescents would have for one another if such an encounter were to occur. We will examine how parent and youth characteristics (their report of discrimination, ethnic identity) and the parent-child communication style accounts for observed behaviors. How these behaviors relate to self-reported parent and youth mental health and adjustment (depression and anxiety symptoms, and self-esteem) will be determined. Observational studies on parent-child conversations about encountering racial bias against their own group is rare and has not been conducted with Asian American families. This project is novel as the observational approach lays the groundwork for understanding specific features in the response to racial bias.

项目摘要 亚裔美国人是美国增长最快的种族群体，但迫切需要解决精神问题 可悲的是，人们对卫生问题的认识不足，几乎没有为解决这些问题指定资源。亚洲人 美国青少年报告说，与其他种族群体相比，同龄人的种族歧视水平最高 鉴于歧视与心理健康之间的密切关系，这是一个重大问题。关键的是，反亚洲 在新冠肺炎大流行期间，歧视和攻击行为大幅增加，责任归咎于 亚洲人带来了大流行。尽管家长们表达了迫切的需求和关切 关于歧视，很少有研究研究亚裔美国父母和青少年如何认识和 回应反亚裔种族歧视。通过调查和虚拟录像观察发生的 在他们的家中，我们的项目将调查华裔美国父母和青少年如何决定 这一事件是歧视性的和有问题的。通过116个双音节的样本，我们还将研究汉语是如何 美国父母和他们青春期的孩子(16-18岁)谈论种族偏见。父母和孩子都是 被要求讨论当面对假设的场景时，他们会怎么做，他们是目标 种族偏见行为(例如，在公共场所被指责为新冠肺炎疫情的罪魁祸首)。我们的目标是 描述认识到父母和青少年情绪反应的能力和方法 在行为上应对这样的情况。从观察会议中获得的非语言和语言内容 都会被抓获。这包括对情绪表达的分析，以及父母和青少年 陈述他们在这种情况下会做什么(例如，向犯罪者解释他们错了，使用幽默)。我们会 也要检查父母和青少年在以下情况下对彼此的任何建议或期望 这样的遭遇就是会发生的。我们将研究家长和青少年的特点(他们的报告 歧视、种族认同)和亲子沟通方式是观察到的行为的原因。多么 这些行为与自我报告的父母和青少年的心理健康和适应(抑郁和焦虑)有关 症状和自尊)将被确定。关于亲子对话的观察性研究 遇到针对他们自己群体的种族偏见是罕见的，而且还没有对亚裔美国人进行过 家人。这个项目是新颖的，因为观察法为理解特定的 在对种族偏见的反应中的特点。
