Document Summary
Discusses ethnicity as a complex social construct that cannot explain much. Ethnic groups are not discrete categories into which people can be classified. Independence/ interdependence, strength of family affiliation, spirituality, etc. Strength, salience (relevance) and meaning of ethnic identity. How much one identifies with ethnicity, how relevant that sense of membership is, what ethnic identity means (personal vs. historical) Experiences and attitudes associated with minority status. Each ethnic group is heterogeneous and changed over time, so labels (eg. ja) are not good measures. Article 8: family intergenerational relationship of asian american adolescents. Studied the nature of family intergenerational relationship from perspective of asian. Used essays from growing up asian american essay contest. Assessed status of intergenerational relationship based on commitment and exploration. Specifying and embracing a choice that is clearly reflected in attitude, feeling and behavior. Exploration: process of reflection and consideration of alternatives before making a commitment. Diffusion (not studied bc wouldn"t join competition if lack interest)
