一个生态模型的种族认同进行了研究，在639名青少年的亚洲印度，中国，菲律宾，越南和萨尔瓦多血统。使用结构方程模型，特别是，多组比较，研究结果表明，家庭种族社会化（FES）的过程中发挥了重要作用的民族身份的形成为所有青少年，无论种族背景。具体来说，青少年的报告FES显着和积极相关的探索，承诺，肯定和归属感对他们的种族背景的报告。这些结果是一致的经验工作，发现家庭社会化是一个核心组成部分的民族认同形成的儿童，并与理论工作的青少年，强调家庭的重要作用，在这个过程中的民族认同的形成。
An ecological model of ethnic identity was examined among 639 adolescents of Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Salvadoran descent. Using structural equation modeling and, specifically, multiple group comparisons, findings indicated that familial ethnic socialization (FES) played a significant role in the process of ethnic identity formation for all adolescents, regardless of ethnic background. Specifically, adolescents' reports of FES were significantly and positively associated with their reports of exploration, commitment, and affirmation and belonging toward their ethnic background. These results are consistent with empirical work that has found familial socialization to be a central component of ethnic identity formation among children, and with theoretical work on adolescents, which has emphasized the important role of families in the process ethnic identity formation.
