Descripción
Sumario:The present article reviews international literature on ethnic identity among ethnic minority children, presents a summary of the principal empirical data on this area, and discusses three theoretical approaches widely used in the psychosocial analysis of these results, namely, the Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979), Berry’s (1984, 1997) bidimensional acculturation model, and ethnic identity formation approaches based on Erikson’s (1973) Ego-Identity Development Theory. The literature shows that the development of ethnic identity is a multidimensional and dynamic process shaped by interindividual, contextual and sociocultural factors.
