This study aims to explore the psychological consequences of multiracial microaggressions on mental health outcomes.
Participants were 98 multiracial adults in the U.S. who completed surveys measuring microaggressions and psychological outcomes.
Self-reported measures included self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, and sense of belonging.
Participants reported experiences with both general racial and multiracial-specific microaggressions.
Increased exposure to multiracial-specific microaggressions related to lower belonging (p<0.05), higher anxiety (HR=2.1, 95% CI: 1.5-2.8), and depression (p<0.01).
Multiracial-specific microaggressions accounted for variance in psychological health beyond general racial microaggressions.
Negative psychological outcomes were strongly associated with perceived stress among multiracial individuals.
