ONLINE SURVEY ON ASIAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCES OF RACISM & ITS PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT

We are Professors in the Department of Counseling at San Francisco State University. We are doing a online study on the experiences of Asian Americans with racism and its psychological impact. Since this topic has not been studied very much in the field of psychology, we are hoping to document the types of racism that Asian Americans encounter, the psychological outcomes of these experiences as well as how they cope with racism.

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate and identify yourself as Asian American.

This study is completely confidential, anonymous and voluntary. You can discontinue your participation at any time without penalty.
