Abstract
Guided by the intersectionality theory and objectification theory, the author explored whether body surveillance (BSU), body shame (BSH), and collective self-esteem (CSE) may serve as possible mediators and moderators for the association between gendered racial microaggression (GRMA) and East Asian American (EAA) women’s body esteem (BES) and life satisfaction (SWLS). A total of 173 EAA women completed an online survey. This study used the PROCESS computational tool (Hayes, 2013) to explore the mediation and moderation hypotheses. The mediation analysis results indicated that BSU, BSH, and CSE-PR (private), and CSE-MB (membership) mediated the associations between GRMA and outcome variables (e.g., BES and SWLS). The results from simple effects of moderation analysis revealed that for EAA women with lower collective self-esteem (CSE-ID), the association between GRMA and BES was significantly negative. In addition, among EAA women with a higher level of private collective self-esteem (CSE-PR), the association between GRMA and SWLS was significantly negative.
