This study examines how COVID-induced and general attitudes toward Asians have changed over the course of the pandemic using nationally representative survey experiments in 2020 and 2022. First, we measured COVID-induced anti-Asian attitudes as the effect of a treatment reminding respondents of the pandemic on whether respondents would be willing to live or work with someone who is East or South Asian. The results suggest that the COVID-19 treatment worsened attitudes toward East and South Asians in the social domain and toward East Asians in the economic domain in 2020, but not in 2022. Second, we measured change in general attitudes toward Asians by comparing the control group responses in 2020 and 2022. The results demonstrate that, over the same period, general attitudes toward Asians have not improved despite growing attention toward anti-Asian biases. This finding underscores the persistence of general negative attitudes toward Asians beyond the immediate context of the pandemic and the ongoing imperative to actively address deeply ingrained biases against Asians.

本研究利用 2020 年和 2022 年全国代表性的调查实验，探讨了在大流行期间，新冠病毒引发的对亚裔的普遍态度如何发生变化。首先，我们测量了新冠病毒引发的反亚裔态度，作为一种治疗的效果，提醒受访者流行病调查受访者是否愿意与东亚或南亚人一起生活或工作。结果表明，2020 年，COVID-19 治疗使人们在社会领域对东亚人和南亚人的态度恶化，在经济领域对东亚人的态度恶化，但在 2022 年则没有。其次，我们通过比较对照组来衡量对亚洲人的总体态度的变化。 2020 年和 2022 年的群体反应。结果表明，在同一时期，尽管人们越来越关注反亚裔偏见，但对亚裔的总体态度并未改善。这一发现强调，在疫情爆发的直接背景之外，人们对亚裔的普遍负面态度仍然持续存在，并且必须积极解决针对亚裔根深蒂固的偏见。
