Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v26 n5 p503-16 Oct 1997

Analyses of data from 12,386 adolescents showed that ethnic identity is an important qualifier of the relationships between independent variables of ethnicity and gender and dependent variables of self-esteem, academic self-confidence, and purpose in life. Whites and Native Americans had lower ethnic identity, and Blacks and Hispanics had higher ethnic identity. (SLD)
