Psychologists use the term racial microaggressions to describe subtle forms of everyday racial incivility and discrimination reported by members of historically underrepresented groups. Growing evidence links self-reported experiences of racial microaggressions to health. Drawing on life-course perspectives on stress, biopsychosocial models of racism, and daily-process research, I propose a conceptual framework for investigating daily stress processes (e.g., reactivity, recovery, appraisal, coping), cumulative stressor exposures (e.g., race-related traumas, major life events, nonevents, chronic stressors), and social structural factors (e.g., institutions, social roles, statuses) that may affect the experience of racial microaggressions in everyday life. An underlying assumption is that microaggressions are dynamic in character, can vary across individuals, and are shaped by the interplay of stressor exposures across multiple timescales and levels of analysis. The article concludes by inviting researchers to use methods that account for dynamic features of everyday racialized experiences, giving sufficient attention to process, person, and context.

心理学家使用种族微攻击一词描述历史上代表性不足的群体成员报告的日常种族不文明和歧视的微妙形式。越来越多的证据将自我报告的种族微攻击经历与健康联系起来。借鉴关于压力的生命历程观点、种族主义的生物心理社会模型和日常过程研究，我提出了一个概念框架，用于调查日常压力过程（例如，反应性、恢复、评估、应对）、累积压力源暴露（例如，种族-相关的创伤、重大生活事件、非事件、慢性压力源）和可能影响日常生活中种族微攻击体验的社会结构因素（例如，机构、社会角色、地位）。一个潜在的假设是，微攻击是动态的，可能因人而异，并且是由跨多个时间尺度和分析水平的压力源暴露的相互作用形成的。文章最后邀请研究人员使用解释日常种族化经历的动态特征的方法，对过程、人物和背景给予足够的关注。
