Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Stress and Mental Health01:30

Stress and Mental Health

Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not necessarily...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Racial microaggressions are linked to substance use in various racial groups.
  • The specific impact of racial microaggressions on substance use in Asian American adults remains unclear.
  • The moderating role of ethnic identity strength in this relationship is also undefined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between racial microaggressions and substance use (tobacco, cannabis, alcohol) in Asian American adults.
  • To determine if ethnic identity strength moderates the relationship between racial microaggressions and substance use in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 523 English-speaking Asian American adults (aged 18+).
  • Validated scales measured racial microaggressions and ethnic identity strength.
  • Logistic regression analyses examined associations between microaggressions, substance use (past 30-day and former), and ethnic identity strength.

Main Results:

  • Higher exposure to racial microaggressions was significantly associated with increased odds of past 30-day tobacco, cannabis, and alcohol use.
  • Associations between racial microaggressions and former substance use were inconsistent.
  • Ethnic identity strength did not significantly moderate the observed associations between racial microaggressions and substance use outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Racial microaggressions are a significant factor associated with various forms of substance use among Asian American adults.
  • Interventions addressing racial microaggressions are recommended to improve substance use-related health outcomes in this demographic.
