This study explored the relations between campus safety and loneliness among Asian and Asian American college students. We investigated the mediation effect of psychological distress and the moderation effect of COVID-19-related discrimination in these relations. 1,685 Asian and Asian American college students who participated in the Fall 2020, American College Health Association - National College Health Assessment III survey. The moderated mediation analysis was conducted. The findings revealed a negative correlation between campus safety and both psychological distress (b = -0.05, < 0.001) and loneliness (b = -0.12, < 0.001), but this weakened for those experiencing COVID-19 discrimination. Psychological distress consistently mediated the safety-loneliness link regardless of discrimination. The current findings highlight the support from the university for Asian and Asian American college students. The specific implications for practice and policy are discussed.
本研究探讨了亚裔及亚裔美国大学生校园安全与孤独感之间的关系。我们调查了心理困扰在这些关系中的中介作用以及新冠疫情相关歧视的调节作用。1685名参与2020年秋季美国大学健康协会-全国大学健康评估III调查的亚裔及亚裔美国大学生。进行了调节中介分析。研究结果显示，校园安全与心理困扰（b = -0.05，p < 0.001）和孤独感（b = -0.`12，p < 0.001）均呈负相关，但对于经历新冠疫情歧视的学生，这种相关性会减弱。无论是否存在歧视，心理困扰始终在安全与孤独感的联系中起中介作用。当前研究结果凸显了大学对亚裔及亚裔美国大学生的支持。并讨论了对实践和政策的具体启示。
