Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In an era of uncertainty, it is expected to experience changes in everyday functioning. Crises, such as war, natural disasters, or other catastrophes that are out of our control and influence, can easily form collective traumatic experiences. Collective trauma refers to the effect of a traumatic experience that impacts and involves entire communities, societies, or groups of people. Since collective traumas can be passed down to future generations and form transgenerational trauma, it is important to detect these experiences and implement appropriate tools necessary for rehabilitation, post-traumatic growth, and resilience.

This Special Issue calls for the submission of manuscripts related to the effects of various collective traumas on everyday functioning in the modern world and appropriate coping skills needed to reduce the impact of symptoms in the aftermath of a traumatic experience.

Stigmatization, hostility, and violence towards the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community have increased sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to conduct research to promote understanding of the effects of such stigmatization on the AAPI community. Accordingly, the present study used a combined minority stress and integrated threat framework to examine whether factors related to AAPI identity would moderate the relationship between stigmatization/threat associated with AAPI identity and increased psychological distress and behavioral vigilance. AAPI individuals were recruited online from both Turk Prime and Reddit and completed measures of perceived stigmatization; integrated threat; depression, anxiety, and stress; and behavioral vigilance. Perceptions of stigmatization and threat predicted relevant outcomes both as individual predictors and in multivariate analyses. However, factors relating to the strength of AAPI identification did not moderate the effects of stigmatization and threat on psychological distress and behavioral vigilance, which is a result that failed to support this aspect of the broader conceptual model on which this project was based. Instead, these proposed moderators were themselves predicted by stigmatization and threat variables. The implications of these findings for effective interventions to alleviate the negative consequences of anti-Asian stigmatization are discussed. Full article
