Although considerable evidence suggests that discrimination negatively affects mental health for Asian American (AA) immigrants, few studies have disaggregated this heterogeneous community and/or differentiated effects of different forms of discrimination. Using the first nationally representative data on AA immigrants in US, this study examines whether perceived racial discrimination, perceived language discrimination, and vicarious racism experiences increase the risk of psychiatric disorder for different Asian immigrant groups in the past 12 months. Results from group specific logistic regressions show that both perceived racial and language discrimination have strong deleterious effects on mental health only for Filipinos, while Vietnamese and Chinese are more likely to be affected by vicarious racism experiences. No significant association was found between racial discrimination and the mental health outcome for Vietnamese and Chinese. Findings were discussed in the light of inter-racial contact pattern and acculturation status for each group.
尽管有大量证据表明，歧视会对亚裔美国（AA）移民的心理健康产生负面影响，但很少有研究对这个多样化的群体进行细分，和/或区分不同形式歧视的影响。本研究利用美国首个关于AA移民的全国代表性数据，调查了在过去12个月中，不同亚洲移民群体感知到的种族歧视、语言歧视和替代性种族主义经历是否会增加患精神疾病的风险。特定群体逻辑回归的结果表明，感知到的种族歧视和语言歧视仅对菲律宾人心理健康有强烈的有害影响，而越南人和中国人更容易受到替代性种族主义经历的影响。越南人和中国人的种族歧视与心理健康结果之间未发现显著关联。研究结果根据每个群体的种族间接触模式和文化适应状况进行了讨论。
