The COVID-19 pandemic provoked a spike in racial discrimination and hate crimes against Asians in the U.S. Although research substantiates the harmful impact of discrimination on health and mental health, limited research has examined how it influences civic engagement among Asian American young adults. Using cross-sectional data from the Midwestern U.S., this study investigated how the experience of anti-Asian racism was associated with civic engagement among Filipino Americans ( n = 260; M age = 22) and Korean Americans ( n = 340; M age = 21) during the pandemic. Results showed that Filipino American women reported more COVID-19 related racial discrimination than Filipino American men. Women, regardless of ethnicity, exhibited more civic engagement than men. Various forms of COVID-19 discrimination were associated with more civic engagement in both groups, except that assault was associated with less civic engagement among Korean Americans. The study results underscore the importance of providing tailored resources for targeted Asian American subgroups to promote continued civic engagement.

COVID-19、菲律宾裔美国人和韩裔美国年轻人的种族歧视和公民参与

COVID-19 大流行引发了美国针对亚裔的种族歧视和仇恨犯罪激增。尽管研究证实了歧视对健康和心理健康的有害影响，但有限的研究探讨了歧视如何影响亚裔美国年轻人的公民参与。本研究利用美国中西部的横断面数据，调查了反亚裔种族主义的经历与菲律宾裔美国人的公民参与之间的关系（n = 260；M）年龄= 22) 和韩裔美国人 ( n = 340; M年龄= 21）在大流行期间。结果显示，菲律宾裔美国女性比菲律宾裔美国男性报告了更多与 COVID-19 相关的种族歧视。无论种族如何，女性都比男性表现出更多的公民参与度。各种形式的 COVID-19 歧视都与这两个群体的更多公民参与有关，但攻击与韩裔美国人的公民参与较少有关。研究结果强调了为目标亚裔美国人亚群体提供定制资源以促进持续公民参与的重要性。
