Rosenthal, Doreen A.; Feldman, S. Shirley

Explores ethnic identities of first- and second-generation Chinese-Australian (n=96) and Chinese-American (n=141) high school students. Responses to ethnic identification questions of both groups were remarkably similar. Results confirm importance of analyzing distinctive components of ethnic identity separately. Internal aspects of ethnic identity are more resistant to change. (SLD)
