Abstract

Perception of personal and group discrimination and their cultural, self-esteem, and demographic correlates were examined in 170 East Asian immigrants. Many East Asian immigrants endorsed experiences of personal and group discrimination. Cultural, self-esteem, and demographic features were differentially associated with perception of personal discrimination versus perception of group discrimination.
