Abstract

This study investigates school ethnic-racial socialization among Asian American youth and its impact on resilience, considering the school's Asian racial composition. Using a sample of 544 Asian American youth aged 18 to 24, mean difference analysis and moderation analysis were conducted. Results revealed that students in schools with larger Asian populations experience more positive school ethnic-racial socialization, while those in schools with smaller Asian populations experience less positive socialization. The Asian population within the school significantly moderates the effects of some of school ethnic-racial socialization on resilience. This highlights the importance of providing extra support and resources for Asian American students in schools with small Asian populations, emphasizing educators' and policymakers' role in creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment.
