Due to the limited amount of information available on the counseling and educational needs of Asian Americans, this study intended to identify some of these needs in order to provide mental health care professionals and educators with direction in providing the most appropriate intervention. The specific problem under investigation in this study was the effect of perceived prejudice on the self concept of Japanese and Chinese Americans, and the mediating effect of feelings of alienation and degree of acculturation. It was proposed that (1) Japanese and Chinese Americans who perceive more prejudice being directed toward them by the majority culture will have significantly higher self concepts than Japanese and Chinese Americans who perceive less prejudice; (2) Japanese and Chinese Americans who feel more alienated will have significantly lower self concepts than Japanese and Chinese Americans who feel less alienated; and (3) Japanese and Chinese Americans who are more bicultural in their attitudes and behaviors will have significantly higher self concepts than Japanese and Chinese Americans who are less bicultural in their attitudes and behaviors. This study looked at the contribution of three independent variables--perceived prejudice, feelings of alienation, and level of acculturation--in predicting the dependent variable--self concept. Furthermore, the relationship between some of the sociodemographic variables and the major variables under study was determined. Data were also obtained on the reliability and validity of the Asian American Acculturation Scale. One hundred-seven Japanese and Chinese American university students served as subjects. The instruments required to complete this investigation, in addition to the Asian American Acculturation Scale, were the Tennessee Self Concept Scale, Demographic Questionnaire, Perceived Prejudice Scale, and Dean's Alienation Scale. Upon "cleaning" the raw data, relationships among variables were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlations and one and two-way analyses of variance. The results did not support Hypotheses 1 and 3, but did appear to support Hypothesis 2. This finding might suggest that a possible issue facing counselors and educators in attempting to enhance the self concept of Japanese and Chinese Americans is the degree of alienation being experienced by these groups.
