Throughout U.S. history, Asian Americans engaged in various forms of collective action to challenge systems of oppression. Despite this, few studies challenge the stereotype that Asian Americans are apolitical and uninterested in collective action and focus on psychological correlates of Asian Americans' collective action. Collective action may be motivated by critical reflection on racism and inequality, which may induce shifts in racial identity ideological values that lead Asian Americans to align with minoritized groups. The current study examines whether Asian American racial identity ideological values-specifically, Asian American Unity, Interracial Solidarity, and Transnational Critical Consciousness-help explain why critical reflection is linked to collective action among Asian Americans. Multiple mediation analyses suggested that, among Asian American college students in the Southwest United States (N = 272), beliefs about Interracial Solidarity and Asian American Unity mediated the relationship between critical reflection (i.e., Critical Reflection on Racism and Perceived Inequality) and collective action (i.e., Support for Black Lives Matter and Sociopolitical Participation). Transnational Critical Consciousness did not mediate the relationship between critical reflection and collective action. This study highlights how Asian American unity and interracial solidarity beliefs underlie Asian Americans' critical reflection and collective action.
在美国历史上，亚裔美国人采取了各种形式的集体行动来挑战压迫制度。尽管如此，很少有研究质疑亚裔美国人不关心政治且对集体行动不感兴趣的刻板印象，并且很少有研究关注亚裔美国人集体行动的心理关联因素。集体行动可能受到对种族主义和不平等的批判性反思的推动，这种反思可能会引发种族身份意识形态价值观的转变，从而促使亚裔美国人与少数族裔群体结盟。本研究探讨亚裔美国人的种族身份意识形态价值观——具体而言，亚裔美国人团结、跨种族团结和跨国批判意识——是否有助于解释为何批判性反思与亚裔美国人参与集体行动有关。多项中介分析表明，在美国西南部的亚裔美国大学生中（N = 272），关于跨种族团结和亚裔美国人团结的信念在批判性反思（即对种族主义和感知到的不平等的批判性反思）与集体行动（即支持“黑人的命也是命”运动和社会政治参与）之间起到了中介作用。跨国批判意识并未在批判性反思与集体行动之间起到中介作用。本研究强调了亚裔美国人团结和跨种族团结信念如何构成亚裔美国人批判性反思和集体行动的基础。
