Abstract: The research on environmental concerns in the last twenty years has looked at age groups involvement, interest, and concerns; and concluded that the older adult are not focused on environmental concerns. The best predictor of concern for environmental issues were younger age, higher education, and politically liberal. 186 older adults were surveyed to determine their level of environmental concern. Participants were asked to express their level of interest in twelve areas: health care, grandpa renting, home safety, racial/ethnic issues, nutrition, caregiving, political issues, art, exercise/movement, recycling, clean air, and clean water. The data returned surprising results with the highest concern and interest in clean air and clean water. No significant variation in interest was found based on age groupings, living environment, or location of residence. This sample population shows a change in the older adults view of environmental issues and want for education on these issues. This reflects a difference from previous research. |

Abstract: This study explores potential links between ethnic identity salience and consistency in self-reporting among Latino youth. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, I scrutinize the utility of the “Hispanic” umbrella term with a quantitative examination of the character and magnitude of fluidity in ethnic self-identification among a national sample of adolescents. Drawing upon theoretical motivations from a large body of assimilation and ethnic identity literature, I connect the observed fluidity to various contextual, ancestral, and phenotypic factors. I find that over 1/5th of the adolescents that report Hispanic ancestry in one setting fail to do so in another setting, despite being asked identical Hispanic origin questions. While Latino ancestry is the most significant predictor of inconsistent Hispanic identification, race and culture also play important roles. I close by suggesting potential directions for future research. |
