Abstract

AbstractThis cross‐sectional study examined (a) the impact of in‐group (own‐group conformity pressure) and out‐group (perceived discrimination, stereotype confirmation concern) race‐related stressors; (b) the direct effect of 2 in‐group‐ (private regard, centrality) and 1 out‐group‐oriented (public regard) racial identity factors; and (c) the potential protective role of these identity factors on the impact of stressors on the anxiety of Asian Pacific Islander American (API) college students attending a racially diverse university. As predicted, positive feelings toward one's own racial group (i.e., private regard) had a significant negative relationship with anxiety. Private regard protected APIs from own‐group conformity pressures and stereotype confirmation concerns. Findings address the diverse university context that may create acculturative pressures or stereotype confirmation concern conditions.
