Puerto Rican Early Adolescents' Self-Esteem Patterns.

Erkut, Sumru; Szalacha, Laura A.; Coll, Cynthia Garcia; Alarcon, Odette

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v10 n3 p339-64 2000

Examined self-esteem among Puerto Rican young adolescents. Found that Self-Perception Profile for Children had adequate reliability for use with 13- to 14-year-old Puerto Ricans living on the mainland. Gender differences in different domains were similar to those among Anglo youth. Psychological acculturation played a more protective role for girls, while behavioral acculturation operated as a risk factor for boys. (Author/KB)
