Racial Discrimination and Asian Mental Health: A Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Although research on racial discrimination and mental health has proliferated, findings are varied and dispersed. This study explored the critical question of how Asians, in particular, deal with discrimination and how this relates to Asian mental health. With 99 correlations from 23 independent studies, the overall relationship between racial discrimination and mental health was statistically significant ( r = .23). Individual resources (i.e., personal constructs and strengths, social support, cultural identity, and coping strategies) were also found to be significantly related to racial discrimination ( r = -.19, -.15, -.10, .22, respectively) and to mental health with the exception of coping strategies ( r = -.48, -.27, -.21, respectively). Recommendations regarding future research and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

“Metaanalysis is a method that enables researchers to quantitatively synthesize study findings using effect sizes (Glass, 1976; Quintana & Minami, 2006) and thus, a cohesive picture of the phenomenon can be captured (Cooper, 2009).”

“Although these aforementioned reviews (Brondolo et al., 2009; Pascoe & Smart Richman, 2009) are helpful in summarizing the literature on how people cope with discrimination, there are several notable limitations.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
