Ethnic Identity, Self-Esteem, and Ethnocentrism: A Study of Social Identity versus Multicultural Theory of Development.

Negy, Charles; Shreve, Tara L.; Jensen, Bernard J.; Uddin, Nizam

Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology, v9 n4 p333-44 Nov 2003

Examines the competing theories of social identity theory (SIT) and multicultural theory to determine if support would be found for either theory. Consistent with SIT, levels of ethnic identity correlated significantly with levels of ethnocentrism for Whites and Hispanics but not for African Americans. Implications of the findings are discussed. (Contains 43 references and 1 table.) (GCP)
