| Abstract: | Introduction: Microaggressive attacks on Asian American women increased during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The present study tested whether Asian American women's shifting, a coping strategy employed by some women of color to alter their self‐presentation in response to perceived racism, mediated the association between gendered racial microaggressions and self‐perceived subtle and blatant racism. Methods: A convenience sample of 253 Asian American adult women completed the gendered racial microaggressions scale for Asian American women (GRMSAAW), the Asian American women's shifting scale (AsAWSS), and the subtle and blatant racism scale for Asian American college students (SABR‐A2). Results: Results from a structural equation model indicated a partial mediation effect; experiences with increased gendered racial microaggressions were associated with greater levels of shifting, which in turn, were associated with greater perceived subtle and blatant racism. Discussion: These data extend our understanding of the shifting coping mechanism used by some Asian American women. Implications for clinical practice and future research are also discussed.
