To contribute to the global understanding, we adopted an explanatory sequential mixed\u2010methods design with 204 Chinese internal migrant youth (Aged 16\u201324, 68.1% male,\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200920.17\u2009years,\n                    <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.57) to examine the associations between perceived discrimination and psychological adjustment, and the moderating roles of coping and perceived social support. In the first phase, participants completed self\u2010report measures, and in the second phase, we interviewed a subsample of 47 youth to contextualize our quantitative trends. Quantitative findings showed that perceived discrimination was negatively linked to self\u2010esteem and positively to depressive symptoms, whereas active\u2010approach coping and social support were positively related to self\u2010esteem and negatively with depressive symptoms. Expressive\u2010evading coping covaried positively with depressive symptoms. We also found that passive\u2010avoidant coping exacerbated the associations between discrimination and depressive symptoms. The roles of active coping and social support in relation to self\u2010esteem varied by age. Qualitative data showed that migration status, rural origin, and regional dialects were the most cited reasons for experiencing discrimination, occurring most frequently in immediate neighborhoods and schools by locals and classmates. Most youth turned to close friends for emotional support, rather than parents, teachers, or classmates. Many would ignore or distract themselves from the experiences, and sometimes would actively cope with the stress. Both quantitative and qualitative findings reveal the unique challenges Chinese migrant youth encounter and distinct pathways of resilience in adapting to urban settings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jora.70281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,3]],"date-time":"2026-10-03T13:00:20Z","timestamp":1791032420000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Perceived discrimination, coping, and psychosocial adjustment: A mixed methods study of Chinese internal migrant youth"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5706-9525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lixian","family":"Cui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Arts and Sciences NYU Shanghai  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiwen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Arts and Sciences NYU Shanghai  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doris Yuxuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Arts and Sciences NYU Shanghai  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7893-9994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Morui","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Arts and Sciences NYU Shanghai  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18103\/mra.v13i10.7063"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02673843.2019.1568887"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.so.18.080192.000311"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003\u2010066X.55.5.469"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0743558412457817"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cdev.12975"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/160940692311836"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0025457"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10964\u2010021\u201001546\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327558ijbm0401_6"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022\u20103514.56.2.267"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01537596"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2011.02.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.1995.81.2.431"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/jscp.2010.29.6.624"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003\u2010066X.54.10.805"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033\u20102909.98.2.310"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12144\u2010019\u201000522\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2023.1175452"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_21_1","volume-title":"Understanding mixed methods research","author":"Creswell J.
