ethnic identity development in minority adolescents  

Definition

  • Ethnic identity is a sense of belonging or attachment to one's ethnic group and the feelings that accompany that sense of belonging. During adolescence, identity issues become important as young people move toward adulthood and begin to make decisions about the kind of person they will be in the future.
