Description
This poster describes some preliminary findings from a qualitative study on the psychological experiences of Pacific Islander (PI) college students in the United States. We asked questions related to ethnic identity and religiosity, given their important roles in the mental health of PIs. Participants were recruited from a 4-year private religious university located in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 participants, and the Consensual Qualitative Research (Hill et al., 1997) method was utilized to obtain domains. Domains identified so far include American identity, PI identity, bicultural identity, American activities, PI activities, campus experiences, religiosity, and racial microaggressions.
