The Relation between Gender Microaggressions and Psychological Distress Among women in their 20s and 30s: Moderated Mediation effect of Anger and Feminist Identity Dimensions

Abstract

This study explored if feminist identity dimensions(Passive Acceptance, Revelation, Embeddedness-Emanation, Synthesis, Active Commitment) respectively moderate the relation between anger and psychological distress, when anger mediated the relation between gender microaggressions and psychological distress. Participants were 387 women in 20s and 30s and they completed the on-line survey which measured gender microaggressions, feminist identity composite, state anger, and general health. The data was analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and PROCESS MACRO 2.16(Hayes, 2012). As a result, anger mediated between gender microaggressions and psychological distress when feminist identity dimensions moderated between anger and psychological distress. Specifically, Passive Acceptance strengthened the relationship between anger and psychological distress. In contrast, Revelation and Active commitment weakened the relationship between anger and psychological distress. Whereas Embeddedness-Emanation and Synthesis had no significant moderating effects on the relationship between anger and psychological distress. Based on the results, the implications of the results, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research were discussed.
