Self-Esteem, Self-Concept Stability, and Aspects of Ethnic Identity among Minority and Majority Youth in the Netherlands.

Verkuyten, Maykel

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v24 n2 p155-75 Apr 1995

No significant differences in global self-esteem and self-concept stability were found between 380 self-identified majority and 262 self-defined minority (i.e., Turkish, Moroccan, and Surinamese) youth in the Netherlands. Minority youth did identify more strongly with their ethnic groups, and they evaluated their groups more positively than their majority counterparts. (SLD)
