Exploring the relationship between coping, racial identity, perceived stress, and psychological well-being among Asian Americans

The study examined the relationship between racial identity, perceived stress, and psychological well-being on coping among Asian Americans. A series of t-tests and correlational analyses were conducted on 136 participants to examine if there were possible significant relationships between the demographics (e.g., age and gender) on coping. Standard regression analyses were also conducted to predict the relationships among racial identity, stress, well-being on coping. Specifically, standard multiple regression analyses were used as a primary analysis to predict relationships among racial identity, perceived stress, and psychological well-being on coping. It was hypothesized that there will be a relationship between coping, racial identity, perceived stress, and psychological well-being. Implications of the findings and future directions were discussed.
