Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In an increasingly ethnically diverse society such as the United States, it is important to understand the role that individuals’ ethnic identities play in their lives. One of the main reasons for this is that previous research has found that ethnic identity has an important influence on key outcomes such as depression and self-esteem, academic expectations, and the ability to handle experiences of racism and discrimination (Arellano and Padilla 1996; Portes and MacLeod 1996; Umaña-Taylor 2004). However, not enough is known about the actual determinants of ethnic self-identification. In this paper, I use data from the 1992 and 1995 waves of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study to examine different explanations for the ethnic identity choices available to immigrant children and children of immigrants. In particular, I focus on family context, cultural maintenance, and family relationships, as these factors have not been systematically studied in adaptation and ethnic identification research.
