This study examined whether sense of coherence mediated relationships of perceived racial discrimination and of collective self-esteem to psychological distress (depression and anxiety) among 122 Vietnamese American college students. Higher levels of perceived racial discrimination (PRD) were associated with a reduced sense of coherence (SOC) and with higher levels of depression and anxiety. Path analysis found that SOC partially mediated the rel…

Implications for the conceptualization of…

In many Asian cultures, an identification as gay may be perceived as a rejection of Asian cultural values. This study examines some of the cultural and familial characteristics which may suggest unique burdens and the need for additional social supports as perceived by 20 self-identified Vietnamese American gay men who have “come out.” Most responde…
