“…The majority of these studies examined the predictors and psychological consequences of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination. A few studies investigated model minority stereotypes and microaggressions (e.g., Kiang et al, 2016; Nadal et al, 2015). One article investigated Asian American adolescents’ discrimination experiences using a narrative-linguistic approach (Kiang & Bhattacharjee, 2016).…”

As the seventh in the series, this annual review of research on Asian American psychology focused on the 332 articles that were identified by PsycINFO as being published in 2015 and that met the inclusion criteria established by prior reviews. Consistent with prior annual reviews, these articles were coded for 4 domain themes: study topic, methodology, participant characteristics (i.e., ethnicity), and age range/developmental period of the sample. In addition to presenting a brief summary of our coding results, we also present a more detailed synthesis and evaluation of empirical work centered around the distinctive status of Asian Americans as members of cultural, immigrant, and minority groups. Trends and patterns in the field and concrete suggestions for future research are discussed throughout the review. A discussion of limitations of our review is also provided.

“…Discrimination, including derogatory insults and harassment based on race (see Kiang & Bhattacharjee, 2016), may be an additional risk factor for youth of Asian descent. Despite the model minority myth, a study in the United States found that Asian American youth were more likely than Black and Hispanic American youth to be targets of racial/ethnic discrimination (Cooc & Gee, 2014).…”

“…Similarly, parental reluctance to allow their child to acculturate into the larger Western society could inhibit youths' ability to develop a positive self-identity, thereby increasing their risk of criminality (Besla et al, 2005). Discrimination, including derogatory insults and harassment based on race (see Kiang & Bhattacharjee, 2016), may be an additional risk factor for youth of Asian descent. Despite the model minority myth, a study in the United States found that Asian American youth were more likely than Black and Hispanic American youth to be targets of racial/ethnic discrimination (Cooc & Gee, 2014).…”

Objective: Although past studies suggest that the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY; Borum et al., 2006) has moderate predictive validity, its predictive validity with Asian youth in Western countries is unknown. We therefore compared the SAVRY’s predictive validity in a sample of Asian Canadian versus White Canadian youth. Hypotheses: Given that the SAVRY is normed on samples comprising mostly youth who are White, we expected its predictive validity for recidivism would be lower for Asian Canadians than White Canadians. Method: We examined youth probation officers’ SAVRY assessments for 573 youth (445 White Canadians, 56 East/Southeast Asian Canadians, and 72 South Asian Canadians) on community supervision (i.e. probation) in a Canadian province. Youth were prospectively followed for an average of 1.97 years (SD = 0.56 years) to determine if they were subsequently charged with violent or nonviolent offenses. Results: Asian Canadians scored significantly lower on risk total scores compared to White Canadians. Predictive validity for violent and nonviolent recidivism fell in the medium to large range for East/Southeast Asian Canadians (AUCs = .69 to .89) and South Asian Canadians (AUCs = .64 to .83). In comparison, predictive validity for White Canadians was generally lower (AUCs = .63 to .77; small to large range). Risk total scores and nonviolent risk ratings significantly predicted nonviolent recidivism better for East/Southeast Asian Canadians (AUCs = .89 and .87, respectively) than White Canadians (AUCs = .77 and .71, respectively). Despite few significant differences between Asian subgroups, predictive validity for nonviolent risk ratings was significantly higher in East/Southeast Asian Canadians (AUC = .87) than South Asian Canadians (AUC = .64). Conclusions: The SAVRY may be a useful tool for predicting recidivism with Asian Canadians. However, future research should examine the SAVRY’s predictive validity for youth of Asian descent in different countries and contexts.

“…Beyond its academic consequences, the “Model Minority Stereotype” can also impact the relationships that teachers form with Asian American students. Prior work finds that teachers are more likely to form weaker relationships with second-generation Asian Americans (Cherng, 2016), which likely is a reason why Asian American youth and parents also feel invisible from their teachers (Kiang & Bhattacharjee, 2016; Way & Chen, 2000).…”

Strong academic orientations and high expectations from key actors—including parents, friends, and teachers—are linked with high adolescent expectations, which are in turn associated with better academic outcomes. Expectancy-Value Theory argues that broader social influences play a prominent role, although limited work focuses on this aspect of the framework. Two separate, but related, bodies of work theorize how Asian Americans form their expectations. The “Immigrant Bargain” describes how Asian American parents influence the expectations of youth: immigrant parents, who are particularly optimistic, expect their children to succeed. In turn, youth feel pressure to fulfill their familial obligations. The “Model Minority Stereotype,” which constructs Asian American identity around academic excellence, can also be a source of pressure for these youth. Together, these theories suggest that academic social support may be a source of pressure for Asian American youth. Using data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002), a nationally representative dataset of high school sophomores, we find that second-generation Asian Americans have the strongest social support from parents, friends, and teachers, as well as the strongest overall support from these 3 key actors. Results from propensity score matching analyses show that having strong academic support is linked with having higher student expectations. However, the positive relationships between strong social support and college-going expectations are weaker for second-generation Asian Americans. We end by discussing how our findings contribute to Expectancy-Value Theory and research on the “Immigrant Bargain” and the “Model Minority Stereotype.”
