The current study explores the moderating role of racial socialization in the relation between experiences of racial microaggressions and individual self-esteem and racial microaggressions and collective self-esteem for Asian American emerging adults. Asian American emerging adults (Mage = 23.83 years, SD = 2.83; N = 87) completed the Racial and Ethnic Microaggression Scale, the Perceived Racial Socialization Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Collective Self-Esteem Scale. Results suggest a negative correlation between racial microaggression experiences with both individual self-esteem, r = −.34, p = .001 and public self-esteem, r = −.35, p = .001, a component of collective self-esteem. Depending on type and level of message, racial socialization may serve as a protective factor in racial microaggressions and self-esteem relations. Specifically, results suggest a significant interaction when promotion of mistrust was tested as a moderator of the microaggressions–individual self-esteem relation (b = .063, SE = .026), t(86) = 2.47, p = .015, where the relation between microaggressions and self-esteem was only significant at low and moderate levels of promotion of mistrust. Promotion of mistrust also moderated the microaggressions–private self-esteem relation (b = .045, SE = .02), t(86) = 2.30, p = .024. However, when promotion of mistrust moderated this relation, the relation was nonsignificant at all levels (low, moderate, and high). An examination of simple slopes suggests a change in the direction of the relation between microaggressions and private self-esteem from negative for low and moderate levels of promotion of mistrust to positive for high levels of promotion of mistrust.

新兴亚裔美国成年人的微攻击和自尊：种族社会化的调节作用。

目前的研究探讨了种族社会化在亚裔美国新兴成年人的种族微侵略经历与个人自尊以及种族微侵略与集体自尊之间的关系中的调节作用。亚裔美国新兴成年人（法师 = 23.83 岁，SD = 2.83；N = 87）完成了种族和民族微攻击量表、感知种族社会化量表、罗​​森伯格自尊量表和集体自尊量表。结果表明，种族微攻击经历与个人自尊 r = -.34，p = .001 和公共自尊，r = -.35，p = .001，集体自尊的一个组成部分之间存在负相关. 根据信息的类型和水平，种族社会化可能是种族微观攻击和自尊关系的保护因素。具体而言，结果表明，当促进不信任被测试为微攻击 - 个人自尊关系的调节因素时，存在显着的相互作用（b = .063，SE = .026），t(86) = 2.47，p = .015，其中微攻击和自尊之间的关系仅在促进不信任的低度和中度水平上才显着。不信任的促进也缓和了微攻击-私人自尊的关系 (b = .045, SE = .02), t(86) = 2.30, p = .024。然而，当不信任的促进缓和了这种关系时，这种关系在所有层面（低、中和高）都不显着。
