The work aims to examine the experiences and perceptions of microaggressions among multiracial individuals.
Study 1 involved 98 multiracial participants reading descriptions of microaggressions.
Study 2 included 97 multiracial participants viewing scenarios of specific microaggressions.
Participants reported their experiences and the offensiveness of each situation.
Over 72% experienced exclusion, 70% exoticization, and 86% misidentification microaggressions.
Misidentification was identified as the most frequent type of microaggression.
Microaggressions involving exclusion were considered more offensive despite lower experiences.
