“…Most studies took place in the United States ( k = 62), and others in India, The Netherlands, South Africa, and Spain ( k = 10). Racial microaggression was the most frequently studied motivation for subtle discrimination (e.g., Ajayi & Syed, 2014; Hu & Taylor, 2016; Thai, Lyons, Lee, & Iwasaki, 2017; Torres et al, 2010), followed by LGBTQ microaggression (e.g., Kulick, Wernick, Woodford, & Renn, 2017; Swann, Minshew, Newcomb, & Mustanski, 2016; Woodford, Joslin, Pitcher, & Renn, 2017). There were five study samples examining health status microaggression (e.g., Conover, 2015; Perez-Garin, Molero, & Bos, 2015) and only one examining gender microaggression (Prather, 2015).…”

“…Microaggression research primarily has focused on racism, sexism, and homophobia/heterosexism that target people of color, women, and people in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and genderqueer (LGBTQ) community, respectively (Sue, 2010). Qualitative and quantitative research with adolescents and adults has shown that racial and LGBTQ microaggressions are associated with adjustment outcomes such as self-esteem, perceived stress, negative and positive affect, and depression and anxiety symptoms (e.g., Hu & Taylor, 2016; Hughes, Del Toro, Harding, Way, & Rarick, 2016; Ong, Burrow, Fuller-Rowell, Ja, & Sue, 2013). Microaggression also is associated with poor therapeutic alliance and clinical outcomes among clients seeking professional psychological help (e.g., Owen et al, 2011; Shelton & Delgado-Romero, 2011).…”

Microaggression has been considered a form of stressor that negatively affects people with marginalized statuses. Research shows variability in how microaggression is measured, and the extent to which it is associated with adjustment outcomes. A new cube model was proposed to conceptualize microaggression across social groups, interpersonal and group-level interactions, and categories of incidents. Synthesizing findings from published and unpublished studies, this study was aimed to examine the relations between microaggression and adjustment outcomes. Meta-analyses quantified the study-level correlations between microaggression and various adjustment outcomes, and estimated the degree to which methodological and individual factors explained between-study variability. Using 72 independent study samples (N = 18,718), omnibus analysis with a random-effects model showed a statistically significant summary correlation between microaggression and adjustment outcomes (r = .20, 95% CI = .16-.23, p < .001). Between-study variability (Q = 319.86, p < .001, t 2 = .01, I 2 = 77.80%) was explained by gender, race, and publication status. Except for gender microaggression, racial, LGBTQ, and health status microaggressions were associated with adjustment outcomes. Microaggression was relatively more strongly associated with internalizing problems, stress/negative affect, and positive affect/adjustment than with externalizing problems and physical symptoms. Adjustment outcomes were more closely linked to interpersonal microaggression than group microaggression, and to microassault than microinsult and microinvalidation. Narrative reviews showed that very few studies tested whether microaggression predicted adjustment outcomes above and beyond overt discrimination and individual difference factors, and examined the indirect mechanisms that may link microaggression to adjustment outcomes. Limitations to the scope of this research synthesis and future research directions are discussed.

“…Phinney (1998) sees identity as central to the psychological functioning of members of ethnic minority groups. Ethnic awareness is constructed when cultures meet other cultures, and as persons become more aware of both the other and the self (Hu and Taylor, 2016;Phinney, 1990). Ethnic identity thereby becomes part of the individual's self-concept which derives from his knowledge of his membership of a group.…”

Ethnic categorisation, identity and perceptions of life among Swedish Samis

To what extent do Swedish Samis identify their ethnicity as Sami, Swedish, or both? How do they meet various criteria for being allowed to register as voters to the Sami Parliament? What factors predict ethnicities? These questions are studied in randomised samples from the electoral roll for the Sami Parliament. Applying Berry’s model of acculturation, four types are constructed—separated, assimilated, integrated, and marginalised. The findings show that the integrated represent the great majority of Samis. The two groups who tend to choose one of the identities—Sami or Swedish—represent less than one third when combined and are about equal in size. Those marginalised with weak ethnic identities represent 2%. Although all meet the self-identification criterion of being Sami, few meet each of some ‘objective’ criteria, e.g. being involved in reindeer herding, having Sami as the home language or having parents or grandparents with Sami as the home language. The main predictors of a stronger Sami identity are cultural symbolic behaviours and heredity. The main negative predictor of a stronger Swedish identity among Samis is the use of cultural symbolic behaviours, and the main positive predictor is a positive estimate on the Swedish public opinion’s interest in Samis. The findings are discussed in relation to Sami debates on indigeneity.
