Parental perceived discrimination was investigated as a risk factor in a U.S. sample of 1,579 internationally adopted children ages 5 to 18 years. Drawing on stress proliferation theory, we hypothesized a positive association between parental perceived discrimination and child problem behaviors, controlling for preadoption adversity. We also expected differences by world region and age of the child. Adoptive parents with Asian and Latin American children reported more discrimination than parents with Eastern European children. Perceived discrimination was uniquely associated with greater problem behaviors for adopted children from Asia and Latin America, with the strongest association among Latin American adolescents. The study findings highlight the need to study postadoption risk factors related to adoption and minority status for internationally adopted individuals and families.

“…Additionally, the nature of discrimination Black and Asian Americans experience may have varied and thus, involved different psychological processes. For instance, Asian Americans often face discrimination based on their perceived perpetual foreigner status (Li & Nicholson, 2021;Okihiro, 2014). In response, many Asian American emerging adults may have interpreted certain discriminatory experiences as personal challenges to overcome through improving their English and cultural proficiency (Kim, 2012;Li & Nicholson, 2021).…”

Objectives: Black and Asian American emerging adults are at higher risk of experiencing racial/ethnic discrimination and related distress. Racial/ethnic discrimination may increase vulnerability for depressive symptoms by diminishing individuals' positive self-concept. While low global self-esteem has been noted as a crucial process linking discrimination and depressive symptoms, it is unclear if it plays a unique role beyond other relevant aspects of one's self-concept: racial/ethnic private regard and centrality. Moreover, although different racial/ethnic groups are known to experience discrimination in distinctive ways, little is known about how relative processes of self-esteem and racial/ethnic identity may differ across these groups. We investigated the generalizability and specificity of discrimination to distress linkages across Asian and Black Americans. Method: Undergraduate Black (N = 109) and Asian American (N = 90) students selfreported racial/ethnic discrimination, depressive symptoms, and self-concept. Results: Global self-esteem indirectly linked the association between discrimination and depressive symptoms among Black Americans beyond the effects of racial/ethnic identity. Only among Black Americans, discrimination was associated with lower private regard. Conclusions: Finding highlight group-specific processes underlying Black and Asian Americans' experiences of discrimination and depressive symptoms. Findings also demonstrate shared processes of discrimination-depressive symptoms linkage across groups and underscore the need to address the pervasive issues of racism and discrimination. editing.

“…Although the model minority stereotype commends Asian Americans for their academic, economic, and social success, the stereotype simultaneously protects domination by Whites, pits other minority groups and Asians against each other, and slanders other racial minorities as "problematic" (Park, 2011). On the other hand, the "yellow peril" stereotype, a more negative metaphor than the model minority stereotype, denigrates Asians as a threat and diseased trespassers (Okihiro, 2014). Relatedly, the COVID-19 pandemic reaffirmed the prevalent negative perceptions of Asian Americans.…”

ObjectiveWe examined the degrees of change in familial discussions about racial issues (i.e., race, ethnicity, racism, and discrimination) due to the surge of anti‐Asian discrimination during the COVID‐19 pandemic.BackgroundAsian American family racial–ethnic socialization that teaches the values, information, and perspectives about racial–ethnic group membership and race relations carry great implications for youth development. However, little is known about how anti‐Asian sentiments may have contributed to the degrees of change in racial issues.MethodThe participants included 143 second‐generation East Asian American youth (e.g., Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese) ages 11–18 years (M = 14.96, SD = 1.98). Youth were attending middle (38%) or high (62%) schools in the United States.ResultsLatent profile analysis identified four profiles of degrees of change in familial discussions: (a) moderate change in racial discussions about other ethnicities, (b) much change in racial discussions, (c) moderate change in racial discussions about own ethnicities, and (d) little change in racial discussions.ConclusionOur findings provide a snapshot of the ways East Asian American families' racial discussions are changing, which in turn shape youth's experiences in navigating their social contexts.ImplicationsThe findings provide valuable directions for research and interventions to promote important racial discussion among East Asian American families.
