Abstract
The causes of low ethnic identity among educated Mexican-Americans and
ethnic identity’s effects on psychological well being are the topics of the
proposed study. A 14-year longitudinal study is proposed with two groups of
40 Mexican-Americans, starting in ninth grade at the beginning of the study.
The experimental group would participate in bicultural curricula, while the
control group would participate in standard curricula. It is projected that the
bicultural curricula participants would show significantly higher ethnic identity,
that high ethnic identity would be significantly positively correlated with
measures of psychological well being and that the bicultural curricula
participants who pursued higher education would show higher preservation of
ethnic identity over 10 years.
