OBJECTIVE
Links between phenotypes (skin tone, physical features) and a range of outcomes (income, physical health, psychological distress) were examined. Ethnic identity was examined as a protective moderator of phenotypic bias. METHOD: Data were from a community sample of 2,092 Filipino adults in San Francisco and Honolulu. RESULTS: After controlling for age, nativity, marital status, and education, darker skin was associated with lower income and lower physical health for females and males. For females, more ethnic features were associated with lower income. For males, darker skin was related to lower psychological distress. One interaction was found such that females with more ethnic features exhibited lower distress; however, ethnic identity moderated distress levels of those with less ethnic features. CONCLUSIONS: Phenotypic bias appears prevalent in Filipino Americans though specific effects vary by gender and skin color versus physical features. Discussion centers on the social importance of appearance and potential strengths gained from ethnic identification.
目的
研究了表型（肤色、身体特征）与一系列结果（收入、身体健康、心理困扰）之间的联系。民族认同被视为表型偏见的一种保护性调节因素。方法：数据来自旧金山和檀香山的2092名菲律宾成年人的社区样本。结果：在控制了年龄、出生地、婚姻状况和教育程度后，深色皮肤与女性和男性的低收入及较低的身体健康状况相关。对于女性，更多的民族特征与较低的收入相关。对于男性，深色皮肤与较低的心理困扰相关。发现了一种交互作用，即具有更多民族特征的女性表现出较低的困扰；然而，民族认同调节了那些民族特征较少者的困扰水平。结论：表型偏见在美籍菲律宾人中似乎很普遍，尽管具体影响因性别以及肤色与身体特征的不同而有所差异。讨论集中在外表的社会重要性以及从民族认同中获得的潜在优势。
