Asian American psychology

Asian American Psychology is a field that studies the mental health and behavioral patterns of individuals of Asian descent in the United States. It explores how cultural background, immigration experiences, and societal factors influence their identity, well-being, and mental health issues. This area of psychology also examines the unique stressors faced by Asian Americans, such as acculturation, discrimination, and family expectations. By understanding these aspects, professionals can provide better support and interventions tailored to the unique experiences of Asian American communities, promoting mental health and resilience.
