对95名来自加拿大华人移民家庭的青少年（平均年龄12岁）进行了种族认同、成就和心理适应的调查。利用横断面数据，观察族群认同的促进作用；较高的种族认同与高于平均水平的成就和自尊以及低于平均水平的抑郁症状相关。族裔认同对脆弱性的影响较小：较低的族裔认同与高于平均水平的抑郁症状有关，仅对男性而言，与低于平均水平的自尊有关。研究结果还表明，较高的种族认同可能会缓冲成绩不佳的压力，这表明种族认同可能具有保护作用。虽然需要重复，但这些初步发现说明了采用风险和弹性框架的效用，并表明了促进强烈种族认同的价值。
Ethnic identity, achievement, and psychological adjustment were examined among 95 youth from immigrant Chinese families in Canada (mean age 12 years). Utilizing cross-sectional data, promotive effects of ethnic identity were observed; higher ethnic identity was associated with above average achievement and self-esteem and below average levels of depressive symptoms. Vulnerability effects of ethnic identity were fewer: lower ethnic identity was associated with above average depressive symptoms and, for males only, below average self-esteem. Findings also suggested that higher ethnic identity might buffer the stress of poor achievement, indicating a possible protective effect of ethnic identity. Although requiring replication, these preliminary findings illustrate the utility of adopting a risk and resilience framework and suggest the value of promoting strong ethnic identities.
