Ethnic Identity as a Predictor of Problem Behaviors among Korean American Adolescents
Shrake, Eunai K.; Rhee, Siyon
Adolescence San Diego, v39 n155 p601 Fall 2004
This study examined three dimensions of ethnic identity (level of ethnic identity, attitudes toward other groups, and perceived discrimination) as predictors of adolescent problem behaviors among Korean American adolescents. Multiple regression analyses were carried out, and the results indicated that level of ethnic identity, perceived discrimination, and academic performance were significant predictors of both internalizing and externalizing problems. Implications for the provision of mental health services and strengthening multicultural education are discussed.
