Overview

This study shows perceived discrimination promotes collective identity and intergroup solidarity in Asian Americans, indicating critical consciousness enhances these associations.

Key Points

  • Perceived discrimination is positively associated with intergroup solidarity, highlighting an important relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • In the community sample of 468 adult Asian Americans, critical consciousness moderated the effect of discrimination on solidarity with BIPOC communities.
  • The rejection identification model was supported, showing both direct and indirect effects of perceived discrimination on collective identity and solidarity.
  • Findings suggest that experiences of racism can foster positive outcomes like intergroup solidarity and critical consciousness for Asian Americans.
