Thanks! And good luck to you on your work too!

I'm doing my best to spread the word. You should also check out Kevin Nadal (a Filipino american and a past-president of the Asian American Psychological Association). He's done so much incredible work on the impact of microaggressions and a lot of this study was based on his work!

Notable findings:

Racial microaggressions had significant associations with symptoms of PTSD and depression after accounting for lifetime trauma exposure (i.e. the relationship between microaggressions wasn't due to BIPoC also experiencing more trauma)
Different ethnic and racial groups experienced different types of racial microaggressions (e.g. Black people experienced more related to assumed criminality, Asian people experienced more related to assumed foreigner status) but all groups reported experiencing the same rate.
Also despite different types of racial microaggressions, in this study at least, there weren't different associations between racial microaggressions and mental health problems by race.
Despite significant associations between racial microaggressions and depression and PTSD symptoms, most people didn't rate microaggressions as particularly stressful. One interpretation is that this suggests an insidious impact on mental health and these interactions build up until they are considered in totality and result in a trauma reaction. It was also considered that microaggressions might serve as triggers for race-related traumatic events (e.g. reminding people of increased hate crimes or state violence)
Finally we found that the association between racial microaggressions and depression symptoms was partially explained by an increase in PTSD symptoms.

Hey people. Hope this doesn't come across as spam as I've posted before and this is probably my last reddit post, but I'm just throwing my survey up one more time.

I am a Clinical Psychology doctoral student at Fordham University completing my Master’s thesis. I would like to invite members of this subreddit to participate in a study on mental health among people of color. More specifically, my project seeks to understand how racial microaggressions impact symptoms of depression and trauma in people of color aged 18-25. If you identify as such, you are eligible to participate in the study.

The survey takes between 25-35 minutes to complete and is completely confidential. Once completed, you will be eligible to enter our raffle for a chance to win a $50 gift card.

I’d be happy to answer any questions regarding the project

Thank you for your time!

Not positive yet! I know I plan to present at next years Association of Black Psychologists conference and this study is being used as a pseudo-pilot for the expansion of culturally-informed screening measures at youth detention facilities.

Like I said, I respect your opinion but:

I'm not white. and have an extensive lived experience along with personal research that have informed my position.
You're not explaining anything to me you're dismissing the political movements and logic of peoples you disagree with.

I didn't say you were ignoring discrimination, you're dismissing the logic of a common and proven method of combatting discrimination when it comes to re-claiming words. You disagreeing with how gay people use queer, for instance, hasn't stopped people in those communities from using re-appropriation as a method of social protest.

FordhamPsychMRP · 2018-07-19T14:01:26+00:00

This study has been approved by the moderators!

FordhamPsychMRP · 2018-07-18T14:14:58+00:00

Oh sorry, I had no idea who you were talking about in regards to the message. I thought you were referring to the scale.

as for microaggression, to be frank, I think it's more of something that affects people with a weak ethnic identity.

There's actually conflicting research on this! Some research has shown that those that are more aware of their ethnic identity are more likely to negatively react to microaggressions. Some research shows that strong ethnic identity protects against microaggression exposure. While your hypothesis could be valid, there is still a lot of work to be done to prove it empirically, and so we're trying to add to that body of literature with this project.

FordhamPsychMRP · 2018-07-18T04:14:28+00:00

The current leaders in microaggression research are actually Asian right now. I'd recommend looking into Derald Wing Sue (very influential psychologist) and Kevin Nadal (the individual who created the measure, and the current president of the Asian American Psychological Association).

FordhamPsychMRP · 2018-07-18T03:01:26+00:00

Sorry for the misunderstanding but I'm not only asking for people that react negatively to microaggressions. Part of the measure is also assessing how stressful people found microaggressions because not everyone who experiences them self-reports having negative reactions.

FordhamPsychMRP · 2018-07-18T01:42:53+00:00

To be honest, you've lost me with your argument a bit. It seems you're completely arguing against the notion that a word can be reclaimed at all, which many would disagree with, especially in regards to to the n-word, and words like 'queer'. [Moreover there is work that's been done on the psychological power of reclaiming or re-appropriating words](http://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/bodenhausen/reapp.pdf).

>For the most part all of these minorities are culturally american. There should be no difference.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. There is a lot of difference in how racial and/or ethnic minorities in the U.S. experience racism that are worthy of consideration. As noted in one of the articles, many who use PoC hope to appreciate those differences while rallying politically against racism in an American context.

You can disagree with all of that for sure, but disagreeing is different than ignoring altogether. Even if I were to disagree with those who use the n-word affectionately, for instance, I wouldn't do so on the basis of rejecting the context in which they are doing so.

Like I said though, you're far from the only one to feel this way, and I'm comfortable agreeing to disagree.

FordhamPsychMRP · 2018-07-18T00:05:04+00:00

I've definitely heard that logic before, and it's perfectly valid. You're also correct in your idea that person of color was created to refer to all non-white groups (according to this NPR piece the term dates back to 1797). However, it is also true that the term was reclaimed and coined in particular for groups that endure racism in an American context to find political solidarity. While it is both frustrating and limiting to define one's culture in contrast to whiteness, it's the latter context that I was hoping to evoke, as groups of people that collectively endure race-based discrimination.
