Asian Americans are simultaneously stereotyped as a perpetual foreigner and a model minority. This cross-sectional study of 308 Filipino American youth (mean age 18 years; 47% emerging adult; 72% U.S.-born; 57% female) and 340 Korean American youth (mean age 18 years; 39% emerging adult; 59% U.S.-born; 49% female) is the first to investigate both the direct and interactive effects of these seemingly opposite stereotypes on internalizing and externalizing outcomes, and how these relations differ by ethnicity, age group (adolescence vs. emerging adulthood), and nativity (foreign-born vs. U.S.-born). The results confirm that the perpetual foreigner stereotype predicts more internalizing problems, whereas aspects of the model minority stereotype (i.e., achievement orientation and unrestricted mobility) had different effects by ethnicity. Those who deeply internalize the model minority stereotype were found to be particularly vulnerable. Furthermore, the interactive effects of these stereotypes were more prominent during emerging adulthood than in adolescence, regardless of ethnicity. These nuanced and complex mechanisms need to be thoroughly understood in order to develop appropriate and effective public health or school interventions that can support Asian American young people in dealing with the harmful effects of racial stereotypes.

亚裔美国人同时被定型为永远的外国人和模范少数族裔。这项横断面研究涉及 308 名菲律宾裔美国青年（平均年龄 18 岁；47% 为新兴成年人；72% 美国出生；57% 为女性）和 340 名韩裔美国青年（平均年龄 18 岁；39% 为新兴成年人；59% 为美国公民） -出生；49% 为女性）是第一个研究这些看似相反的刻板印象对内化和外化结果的直接和相互作用的影响，以及这些关系如何因种族、年龄组（青春期与刚成年期）和出生而不同的人（外国出生与美国出生）。结果证实，永久的外国人刻板印象预示着更多的内化问题，而模范少数民族刻板印象的各个方面（即成就导向和不受限制的流动性）因种族而异。那些深深内化模范少数族裔刻板印象的人被发现特别脆弱。此外，无论种族如何，这些刻板印象的相互作用在成年初期比在青春期更为突出。需要彻底了解这些微妙而复杂的机制，以便制定适当而有效的公共卫生或学校干预措施，以支持亚裔美国年轻人应对种族刻板印象的有害影响。
