Rivas-Drake: Projects
Adolescent Identity and Achievement Project
The formation of ethnic identity is an important process that begins to fully unfold during adolescence. This project examines the importance and meaning of ethnicity and race for diverse urban adolescents. Specifically, it examines how experiences with family members, adults at school, and peers relate to adolescents' ethnic identity, and how this, in turn, relates to academic and psychological outcomes.
