In Cress and Ikeda’s study (2003), 508 Asian American college students were surveyed over two years. The survey’s intent was to compare their feelings of depression to those of other college students. The study found that more Asian American students reported feeling depressed than their peers, both White students and other students of color. The study also found that the majority of Asian American students who feel depressed see their campus as having a negative climate where they experience hostility and discrimination (Cress & Ikeda).
