Forming a meaningful self-concept is one of the most challenging developmental tasks all youths face. This process may be particularly complex for youths of color, for whom the construction of an identity often includes grappling with the role of race and ethnicity. My research focuses on the development of ethnic identity with a particular focus on the context in which this development occurs. In particular, I am interested in how context influences variability in ethnic identity across days and situations. In addition, I also examine the implications of ethnic identity for psychological functioning among ethnic minorities.
