A narrative approach to ethnic identity in emerging adulthood: Bringing life to the identity status model.
Abstract
This study used a narrative approach to understand how emerging adults experience ethnicity in their everyday lives and to link ethnic identity processes with the content of how ethnic identity is experienced. Participants were 191 ethnically diverse emerging adults who completed the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) and provided a written narrative about a time at which they became aware of their ethnicity. Participants' narratives differed significantly by ethnic group and by ethnic identity status membership, as indexed by the MEIM. The results underscore the value of adopting a narrative approach to understanding the content of ethnic identity and the links between content and ethnic identity development processes.

“Ethnic identity, typically viewed as a collective identity,1 has been defined as one’s identity, or sense of self, as a member of an ethnic group and the feelings that accompany such membership (Phinney, 1990).”

“The two dominant modern instantiations of Erikson’s ideas, the identity status approach (Marcia, 1980) and the autobiographical narrative approach (McAdams, 2001), both suggest that young adulthood is the prime developmental period for identity work.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
