Abstract：
The COVID-19 pandemic has made historically rooted anti-Asian racism, xenophobia, and civic activism in the United States highly salient, creating a heightened need for Asian American youth to redress racial injustice through civic engagement. However, little is known about Chinese American adolescents\' civic engagement in response to racial discrimination. The present study investigated the age-varying associations between Chinese American adolescents\' experiences of COVID-19-related racial discrimination and their political civic engagement at the intersection of race and gender, as well as the moderating roles of ethnic identity affirmation and parental civic socialization in these associations. The participants were 295 10- to 18-year-old Chinese American adolescents (Mage = 14.1 years, SD = 2.2 years; 52% girls) and their parents (Mage = 44.2 years, SD = 6.0 years; 79% mothers). Time-varying effect modeling showed that experiences of racial discrimination were negatively associated with political civic engagement in middle adolescence. This negative association was found only among girls but not boys. High ethnic identity affirmation and parental civic socialization not only buffered Chinese American adolescents against the impact of racial discrimination but even promoted their greater political civic engagement across adolescence. These findings revealed the age trends and important individual and contextual facilitators of Chinese American adolescents\' political civic participation in the context of the racialized pandemic of COVID-19, which can inform culturally and developmentally targeted education and intervention efforts that promote the civic development of Chinese American adolescents.
摘要：
COVID-19大流行使历史上根深蒂固的反亚洲种族主义，仇外心理,和公民行动在美国非常突出，亚裔美国年轻人需要通过公民参与来纠正种族不公正。然而,人们对华裔青少年对种族歧视的公民参与知之甚少。本研究调查了华裔美国青少年与COVID-19相关种族歧视的经历与他们在种族和性别交汇处的政治公民参与之间的年龄不同的关联，以及种族身份确认和父母公民社会化在这些协会中的调节作用。参与者是295名10至18岁的美籍华人青少年（Mage=14.1岁，SD=2.2岁；52％的女孩）及其父母（Mage=44.2岁，SD=6.0岁；79％的母亲）。时变效应模型表明，种族歧视的经历与青春期中期的政治公民参与呈负相关。这种负关联仅在女孩中发现，而在男孩中没有。高度的种族认同肯定和父母的公民社会化不仅使华裔美国青少年免受种族歧视的影响，而且还促进了他们在青春期更大的政治公民参与。这些发现揭示了在COVID-19种族化流行的背景下，华裔美国青少年政治公民参与的年龄趋势以及重要的个人和背景促进者，这可以为文化和发展针对性的教育和干预工作提供信息，促进华裔美国青少年的公民发展。
