“…For example, although we have suggested that specific religious or supernatural beliefs may shape participants’ endorsement of onset responsibility, these beliefs were not directly assessed in the present study. Moreover, given the complexity of beliefs underlying mental illness stigma, coupled with the diversity of cultural traditions and beliefs within the South Asian American population, qualitative approaches may be instrumental in advancing future research on this topic (Nagata, Wu, & Kim, 2017). For example, a qualitative approach can help to elucidate not only participants’ specific beliefs regarding the role of religious or divine influences in mental illness, but also the reasoning and rationale for how these beliefs inform their views on whether family members should be blamed for an individual’s mental illness.…”

The present investigation first compared endorsement of stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes toward mental illness (onset responsibility and courtesy stigma) among South Asian Americans (n = 52), East Asian Americans (n = 52), and European Americans (n = 64), then tested associations between cultural mechanisms, education in psychology, and endorsement of mental illness stigma. Although South Asian Americans showed greater endorsement of courtesy stigma compared with European Americans, endorsement of onset responsibility did not vary across the three ethnic-cultural groups. Further, although higher endorsement of traditional Asian values was associated with both higher onset responsibility and courtesy stigma, these associations were moderated by ethnic group, and were significant only for European Americans. On the other hand, higher endorsement of interdependent self-construals was associated with lower courtesy stigma, but these associations were also moderated by ethnic group, and were significant only for South Asian Americans. Finally, education in psychology was associated with negative onset responsibility, but not courtesy stigma.

“…As a method of psychological assessment, focus groups allow participants to share, confirm, and add multiple perspectives that would be difficult to obtain through individual interviews (Morgan, 1988;Wilkinson, 1998). Further, focus groups are particularly useful for obtaining in-depth narrative information in a new area of investigation (Stewart & Shamdasani, 1990;Vogt et al, 2004) and have been utilized to explore a range of racial/ethnic minority experiences, including those of Asian Americans (for a review, see Nagata et al, 2012Nagata et al, , 2017. The aim of Study 1a was to explore through focus group analysis major uplift themes in the lives of Asian American youth that then could inform quantitative assessment of racial uplifts in daily life.…”

It is well established that experiences of racial discrimination pose a significant health risk to ethnic minority youth. In this article, we introduce a new concept, racial uplifts, to capture a largely neglected countertheme in the scientific literature-the nature and processes underlying salubrious race-related experiences. We report on data from a mixed-method study of everyday racial uplifts in the lives of Asian American youth. Study 1a (n = 20; age range = 17-23 years) and Study 1b (n = 14; age range = 18-22 years) examined data collected through semistructured focus group interviews. Study 2 used data from a 14-day diary study (n = 152; age range = 16-20 years). A consensual qualitative research analysis of interview data revealed six major racial uplifting themes: (a) ethnic bonding, (b) overcoming obstacles, (c) bicultural competence, (d) cultural bridging, (e) globalism, and (f ) outgroup regard. Analysis of end-of-day diary data revealed that respondents reported at least one daily racial uplift on 65% of the study days and multiple uplifts on 42% of the study days. Multilevel analyses indicated that everyday racial uplifts were associated with decreased daily negative affect and increased daily positive affect and self-esteem. The results add to a growing literature on the role of assets and promotive resources in the lives of ethnic minority youth.

“…The concept of self-stigma and stigma internalization is still relevant for many Asian individuals (Young & Ng, 2016). However, considering acculturation and bicultural identity management, Asian American students may be more likely than Asian international students to resemble European American students in the way that self-stigma relates to psychological help seeking (Cheung & Swank, 2019; Nagata et al, 2017).…”

Using hierarchical regression, the authors investigated the hypotheses that parental and self-stigma would differentially and negatively predict intentions to seek counseling for White American (n = 318), Asian American (n = 153), and Asian international students. (n = 312). The online study was cross-sectional. Parental stigma positively predicted intentions to seek counseling among Asian international students. The magnitude of this association was significantly greater than it was among White and Asian American students. As expected, self-stigma negatively predicted intentions to seek counseling among White and Asian American students. The magnitude of this association was significantly greater for White American students than it was for Asian international students, for whom self-stigma was not a significant predictor of intentions to seek counseling. This research suggests that the processes through which (a) stigma is felt and (b) stigma impacts psychological help seeking may be associated with one’s ethnicity and culture of origin.
