ABSTRACT

Asians are not immune to racial discrimination and discrimination against Asians has heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic because they were blamed as the origin of the virus. A pre-registered 14-day diary explored if self-compassion was associated with subjective well-being and protective behaviors for Asians (U.S. & Canada) who faced COVID-19 discriminations (N = 82 & ndiaries =711). Participants reported discriminations experience for 28% (U.S.) and 25% (Canada) of their days. Daily self-compassion predicted daily subjective well-being despite COVID-19 discrimination experience. Daily self-compassion predicted increased COVID-19 protective behaviors on days Asian Americans experienced COVID-19 discrimination. Daily acceptance, but not daily reappraisal, explained the link between daily self-compassion and daily subjective well-being. These findings could not be accounted for by daily self-esteem.

摘要

亚洲人也不能幸免于种族歧视，在 COVID-19 大流行期间对亚洲人的歧视加剧，因为他们被指责为病毒的起源。预先登记的 14 天日记探讨了自我同情是否与面临 COVID-19 歧视的亚洲人（美国和加拿大）的主观幸福感和保护行为相关（N = 82 & ndiaries = 711）。参与者报告了他们一天中 28%（美国）和 25%（加拿大）的歧视经历。尽管有 COVID-19 歧视经历，但每天的自我同情可以预测每天的主观幸福感。每日自我同情预示着亚裔美国人在经历 COVID-19 歧视的日子里会增加 COVID-19 保护行为。每日接受，而不是每日重新评估，解释了每日自我同情与每日主观幸福感之间的联系。
