Growing research indicates that covert forms of racism, such as microaggressions, are particularly pervasive within the Asian American community and pose significant negative consequences (Ong, Burrow, Fuller-Rowell, Ja, & Sue, 2013). However, studies suggest that these adverse effects may be moderated by the ways in which people organize and evaluate their cultural identities (e.g., Asian and American identities; Linville, 1985, 1987; Sellers, Rowley, Chavous, Shelton, & Smith, 1997). To address these theories and current gaps in the literature, the present study examined the influence of racial microaggressions on subjective well-being among 125 Asian American adults, with specific focus on the protective function of Asian American cultural complexity (i.e., overlap between Asian and American identities) and cultural centrality (i.e., perceived importance of Asian and American identities). The findings revealed that American centrality, but not Asian centrality, was significantly related to subjective well-being, particularly for individuals with lower levels of cultural complexity (i.e., greater overlap between identities). Contrary to study hypotheses, racial microaggressions did not significantly predict well-being, thus limiting this study's ability to test the buffering effects of cultural complexity and identity centrality. Despite these limitations, these findings help contribute to understanding the unique multicultural experiences of Asian Americans, as well as highlight the ongoing need for culturally-sensitive research and clinical applications. Additional interpretations, limitations, and implications are discussed.
