Abstract:
|
Literatures on ethnic identity and acculturation have supported the orthogonal conceptualization and measurement of ethnic identity and identification with the majority group or the larger society. The author argued to conceptually differentiate identification with the majority group and national identity. A survey study with Asian American students (N = 91) and African American students (N = 115) in a large public university in Ohio, U.S.A. revealed no correlation between ethnic identity and identification with White Americans for Asian Americans and a small negative correlation at marginal significance for African Americans. These results support the orthogonal model. While identification with White Americans positively predicted national identity in regression analyses for both samples, ethnic identity also added unique main effect and suppressed the effect of identification with White Americans for predicting national identity among American-born Asian Americans. Bi-cultural identity integrating ethnicity and nationality was offered as explanation for ethnic identity’s positive relation with national identity. Suggestions for future research include regional comparative studies and more elaborate models on perceptions of a society in terms of interethnic group dynamics. |
