| Course Title: Laboratory in Personality and Abnormal Psychology: 'Racism and Asian American Mental Health' |
| Start Date: 03/18/2021 End Date: 05/11/2021 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2021 |
| Description: Despite racialization as "model minorities," the psychological literature demonstrates that Asian Americans experience racism and are detrimentally affected by it. However, some aspects of anti-Asian American racism are qualitatively different from racism that is typically directed at other groups of color. In this course, we will explore the nature of anti-Asian American racism, how it may be internalized, and effects on mental health. Students will develop research questions and analyze (primarily quantitative) survey data from an ethnically diverse sample of Asian Americans. At the end of the semester, students will have an opportunity to report their original research findings. |
