“…Recent measures demonstrate that it is possible to capture the experiences and identity of multiple interlocking oppressions. For instance, there is the Gendered Racial Microaggressions Scale for Asian American Women (Keum et al, 2018), which measures encounters with ascribed submissiveness, Asian fetishism, media invalidation, and assumptions of universal appearance. The Gendered Racial Microaggressions Scale for Asian American Men (Liu & Wong, 2018) captures experiences of psychological emasculation, perceived undesirable partner, and perceived lack of leadership.…”

Research within Asian American psychology continually grows to include a range of topics that expand on the heterogeneity, hybridity, and multiplicity of the Asian American psychological experience. Still, research focused on distinct racialization and psychological processes of Asians in America is limited. To advance scientific knowledge on the study of race and racism in the lives of Asian Americans, we draw on Asian critical race theory and an Asian Americanist perspective that emphasizes the unique history of oppression, resilience, and resistance among Asian Americans. First, we discuss the rationale and significance of applying Asian critical race theory to Asian American psychology. Second, we review the racialized history of Asians in America, including the dissemination of essentialist stereotypes (e.g., perpetual foreigner, model minority, and sexual deviants) and the political formation of an Asian American racial identity beginning in the late 1960s. We emphasize that this history is inextricably linked to how race and racism is understood and studied today in Asian American psychology. Finally, we discuss the implications of Asian critical race theory and an Asian Americanist perspective to research within Asian American psychology and conclude with suggestions for future research to advance current theory and methodology.

“…In addition, gender-and race-based discrimination can contribute to higher reports of mental health issues, including depressive symptoms (Keum et al, 2018), traumatic stress (Moody & Lewis, 2019), and overall psychological distress (Lewis & Neville, 2015). These conditions may in turn contribute to decreased academic persistence among graduate women in STEM (Cross et al, 2017;Espinosa et al, 2011;Ong et al, 2011;Ro et al, 2015).…”

Asian American women routinely face multiple and intersectional forms of discrimination based on their marginalized social identities, including during their interactions within the US health care system. However, most research on discrimination against Asian American women is limited by its exclusive focus on race-, gender-, or language-based forms of discrimination; and research has yet to assess if their discriminatory health care experiences are associated with poor health outcomes. To address this gap, we centered the experiences of Asian American women ( N = 905) from the Association of American Medical Colleges Biannual Consumer Survey of Health Care Access, a national survey of health care consumers conducted from 2011 to 2020. Prevalence rates were established for unfair treatment due to race, gender, culture, language, age, health insurance, and sexual orientation. Multiple regression models were used to assess how these discriminatory experiences were associated with health and functioning outcomes. Findings demonstrate a high prevalence (32.0%) and wide range of discriminatory experiences in health care settings among Asian American women. The majority of these discriminatory experiences were significantly associated with poorer health and functioning outcomes, even after controlling for demographic influences. Results highlight the need for further development of culturally sensitive medical practices and policies to improve the delivery of health care for Asian American women.
