The present symposium focuses on four facets of microaggression research: detection of racial and ethnic microaggressions (REMAs), misgendering of trans/non-binary people, within-group skintone based discrimination or colorism, and intersectional microaggressions of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (QTBIPOC). Microaggressions have been associated with many negative outcomes. However, a key factor of microaggressions is the recognition or detection of microaggression experiences. In the first presentation, presenters will share how cognitive appraisals and shifts in affect are associated with detection of REMAs in the college classroom. The second presentation focuses on misgendering as a type of gendered microaggression. Data is currently being collected to determine if incorrect pronoun usage varies as a function of gender expression. The third presentation is a qualitative community study on Filpinx and Filipinx Americans across the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. The presenters will share early findings on the experiences of colorism in the counties and its impacts on mental health. The final presentation will focus on intersectional QTBIPOC microaggressions and intersectional identity. These presentations will shed light on the ways that microaggression research helps understand these harmful experiences and how to build resilience.
