Abstract:
Many racial-ethnic minoritized individuals are repeatedly exposed to subtle actions reflecting racial slights, termed racial microaggressions (RMAs), which are associated with adjustment problems in early adult and adult populations. Early adolescence represents a unique developmental period when minoritized youth begin their racial-ethnic identity exploration and are subjected to stereotypes and prejudice, thereby making them vulnerable to RMAs. Based upon the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist, a systematic literature search, screening and review of RMA literature focusing on high schoolers and younger youth was conducted and yielded 54 publications. This paper reviewed the publications and identified gaps in the field such as the need for systematic research on early adolescents including the frequency and severity of RMAs and the important contributions of peers, parents and teachers for RMA victims, and the need for more evidence-based programming for middle schoolers. Findings suggest that developing school-based microaggression anti-racism programs is clearly needed for minoritized and White youth.
摘要:
许多种族少数民族化的个人反复接触到反映种族轻视的微妙行为,被称为种族微侵略(RMA),这与早期成人和成人人群的适应问题有关。青春期早期是一个独特的发展时期,少数族裔青年开始他们的种族-族裔身份探索,并受到陈规定型观念和偏见,从而使他们容易受到RMA的攻击。根据系统审查和元分析清单的首选报告项目,系统的文献检索,对针对高中生和年轻青年的RMA文献进行了筛选和审查,并产生了54种出版物。本文回顾了出版物并确定了该领域的差距,例如需要对早期青少年进行系统研究,包括RMA的频率和严重程度以及同龄人的重要贡献,RMA受害者的父母和老师,以及需要为中学生提供更多基于证据的编程。研究结果表明,针对少数族裔和白人青年,显然需要制定基于学校的微观侵略反种族主义计划。
