种族认同的发展是青春期的一个重要方面，特别是对于有色人种青少年来说。为了研究种族认同的发展轨迹，对非裔美国人、拉丁美洲人和欧洲裔美国人的早期和中期青少年 (N = 420) 进行了为期 3 年的评估。对种族认同的两个组成部分进行了评估——发现早期和中期青少年的群体自尊感有所提高；中等青少年的探索热情有所上升。非裔美国人和拉美裔美国人的群体自尊较低，但比欧洲裔美国人的群体自尊增加幅度更大，尤其是在学校过渡期间。讨论了青春期早期和中期的种族认同发展过程、学校环境的作用以及种族和民族群体之间发展轨迹的变异性。
The development of ethnic identity is a critical facet of adolescence, particularly for adolescents of color. In order to examine the developmental trajectory of ethnic identity, African American, Latino American, and European American early and middle adolescents (N = 420) were assessed over 3 years. Two components of ethnic identity were assessed-group-esteem was found to rise for both early and middle adolescents; exploration rose for middle adolescents. African Americans and Latino Americans were lower in group-esteem but have greater increases than European Americans, particularly across a school transition. The course of ethnic identity development during early and middle adolescence, the role of school context, and the variability in developmental trajectories among racial and ethnic groups are discussed.
