The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between emotional immaturity and perceived microaggressions, as well as its impact on various psychological outcomes. A total of 400 participants (stratified random sampling) completed a survey that measured their levels of perceived microaggressions, emotional immaturity, social maladjustment, personality disintegration, lack of independence, and emotional regression. Data is collected by using Perceived Gender Microaggression (Miyake, 2018) and Emotional Maturity Scale (Singh & Bhargav, 1990). The study’s findings indicate that perceived microaggressions are significantly associated with emotional immaturity and significantly predict social maladjustment, personality disintegration, lack of independence, and emotional regression. The study has several implications for understanding the effects of microaggressions on psychological well-being. The findings suggest that microaggressions can have a significant impact on emotional immaturity and subsequent psychological outcomes. It is important for individuals to be aware of microaggressions and how they can affect others, and for organizations to develop strategies to prevent and address microaggressions in the workplace or other settings.
