Filipino Americans and racism: A multiple mediation model of coping.

Abstract: Although the literature on Asian Americans and racism has been emerging, few studies have examined how coping influences one's encounters with racism. To advance the literature, the present study focused on the psychological impact of Filipino Americans' experiences with racism and the role of coping as a mediator using a community-based sample of adults (N = 199). Two multiple mediation models were used to examine the mediating effects of active, avoidance, support-seeking, and forbearance coping on the relat… Show more

“…It is worth noting that almost 95% of the present study sample of Asian Americans reported that they had experienced at least one type of racial discrimination once in a while during the past year. This finding is consistent with other studies reporting that the overwhelming majority of Asian Americans experience racism at least once a year (e.g., Alvarez & Juang, 2010;. Even though racial discrimination experiences among Asian Americans might be relatively infrequent, the relationship of these experiences with mental health outcomes appeared strong in this sample, suggesting the frequency of RDEs might not fully capture the effect or long-term consequences of RDEs.…”

“…Although this outcome is different from what Alvarez and Juang (2010) found in their study among Filipinos in which gender differences affected the effectiveness of various coping strategies, it is consistent with other findings that support the overall protective effect of sharing emotions and seeking support (Lee & Ahn, 2011;Yoo & Lee, 2005). It is also important to note that the ability to use certain coping strategies is contingent not only on the basis of different personal dispositions, but also on the availability of resources and the accessibility to these resources when they are needed (Taylor & Stanton, 2007).…”
