This study found that ethnic self-awareness (i.e., the extent to which people are consciously aware of their ethnicity at any given moment) has different meanings for European Americans and Asian Americans and for Asian Americans with different ethnic identity orientations. The authors found main effects of ethnic group status and ethnic composition on ethnic self-awareness when comparing Asian Americans and European Americans. There was also an interaction effect between ethnic composition and ethnic identity orientation for Asian Americans when examining ethnic self-awareness. Findings are discussed in relation to theories that predict salience of ethnicity and to educators and practitioners who deal with ethnic minority group members.
本研究发现，种族自我意识（即人们在任何特定时刻有意识地意识到自己种族的程度）对欧裔美国人和亚裔美国人以及具有不同种族身份取向的亚裔美国人具有不同的含义。在比较亚裔美国人和欧裔美国人时，作者发现种族群体地位和种族构成对种族自我意识有主要影响。在考察种族自我意识时，亚裔美国人的种族构成和种族身份取向之间也存在交互作用。研究结果将结合预测种族显著性的理论以及与少数族裔群体成员打交道的教育工作者和从业者进行讨论。
