Description

Recently, a scale named Acceptability of Racial Microaggressions (ARMS) was developed to measure the degree to which one tolerates racial microaggressions (Mekawi & Todd, 2018). Our study will examine cultural and psychological correlates of ARMS. Mekawi and Todd (2018) suggest several variables that may impact this tolerance of certain microaggressions. In our study, we will examine how Asian American college students' level of ARMS will be related to their internalized model minority stereotype (Yoo, Burrola, & Steger, 2010), vertical and horizontal individualism (Singelis, Triandis, Bhawuk, & Gelfand, 1995), ethnic identity (Phinney & Ong, 2007), and religiosity (Hilty & Morgan, 1985).
