Bi-racial Asian Americans more likely to suffer psychological disorder
Washington - Bi-racial Asian Americans are twice as likely as their monoracial counterparts to suffer from psychological disorder, according to a study.
‘Up to 2.4 percent of US population self-identifies as mixed race, and most of these individuals describe themselves as bi-racial,’ said Nolan Zane, a professor of psychology and Asian American studies at University of California (UC) Davis.
‘We cannot underestimate the importance of understanding the social, psychological and experiential differences that may increase the likelihood of psychological disorders among this fast-growing segment of the population.’
Zane and his co-investigator, psychology graduate Lauren Berger, found that 34 percent of bi-racial individuals in a national survey had been diagnosed with a psychological disorder, such as anxiety, depression or substance abuse, versus 17 percent of mono-racial individuals.
