Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study proposes ethnic and host society identities as potentially important factors of psychological and physical self-concept during adolescence and young adulthood in a culturally diverse society. Both social identity theory and the ethnic identity development model suggest that a strong identification with ethnic group or majority group in a society promote overall self-concept (Phinney 1989, 1990, 2003; Tajfel 1978). The data analyzed are derived from the Growing Up Canadian Project (Noh and Kasper 2003) that includes 585 adolescents and young adults living in the metropolitan area of Toronto, Canada; who were interviewed at their home in 1997 and 1998. The results support that ethnic and host society identities are important to both psychological and physical self-concept of adolescents and young adults. The analyses of specific dimensions of ethnic and host society identity show pride as the most important aspect of these identities for both psychological and physical self-concept. Additionally, the effectiveness of ethnic pride and host society pride/attachment varies by nativity status. In sum, findings of this study suggest importance of including not only ethnic identity, but also host society identity and analyzing their specific dimensions in future studies of self-concept and group identity.
