During the COVID-19 pandemic, we observed an increase in the amount of microassaults, a more intentional type of microaggression, towards the Asian American population.

We used a self-report survey …

Articles were screened by three reviewers. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed by I2 statistic. The random-effects model …
