Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining ethnic-racial identity (ERI) among White adolescents in the United States and its relationship to anxiety and self-esteem. Conducted with a sample of 525 adolescents, the research identified three ERI profiles: Secure & Identity Aware, Moratorium & Negative Affect, and Diffuse & Detached. The findings indicated that those in the Secure & Identity Aware profile exhibited the highest self-esteem and lowest anxiety, while the Moratorium & Negative Affect profile showed the opposite trends. The study highlights the implications of these profiles for social attitudes in the context of a racially charged sociopolitical climate. [Extracted from the article]
