Little is known about how microaggressions may impact the health and mental health of college students of color attending historically White universities. In this study, students provided self-report of the number of racial and ethnic microaggressions they had experienced over the previous month, as well as data on anxiety symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory), alcohol consumption (Daily Drinking Questionnaire) and consequences (Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index), and self-efficacy to cope with daily hassles (General Self-efficacy Scale) and with high risk drinking situations (Situational Confidence Questionnaire). As expected, students of color reported significantly more microaggressions than their European American counterparts. Microaggressions and self-efficacy were significantly associated with anxiety (Full Model R² = .20; p < .001), microaggressions and self-efficacy were significantly associated with binge drinking (Full Model R² = .10; p < .01), and microaggressions, binge drinking events, self-efficacy, and microaggressions × self-efficacy interaction were significantly associated with alcohol related consequences (Full Model R² = .28; p < .001) among the students of color. Results suggest that microaggressions may represent a health and mental health risk to students of color. Implications of study results and future research directions are discussed.
关于微侵犯如何影响在历史上以白人为主的大学就读的有色人种大学生的健康和心理健康，目前知之甚少。在这项研究中，学生报告了他们在过去一个月中经历的种族和族裔微侵犯的数量，以及焦虑症状（贝克焦虑量表）、饮酒量（每日饮酒问卷）和后果（罗格斯酒精问题指数）、应对日常困扰的自我效能感（一般自我效能感量表）和高风险饮酒情况（情境自信问卷）的数据。不出所料，有色人种学生报告的微侵犯比他们的欧洲裔美国同龄人多得多。微侵犯和自我效能感与焦虑显著相关（全模型 R²=.20；p<.001），微侵犯和自我效能感与狂饮显著相关（全模型 R²=.10；p<.01），微侵犯、狂饮事件、自我效能感和微侵犯×自我效能感交互作用与有色人种学生的酒精相关后果显著相关（全模型 R²=.28；p<.001）。研究结果表明，微侵犯可能是有色人种学生的健康和心理健康风险。讨论了研究结果的意义和未来的研究方向。
