Ethnic identity is central to the psychological functioning of members of ethnic and racial minority groups, but research on the topic is fragmentary and inconclusive. This article is a review of 70 studies of ethnic identity published in refereed journals since 1972. The author discusses the ways in which ethnic identity has been defined and conceptualized, the components that have been measured, and empirical findings. The task of understanding ethnic identity is complicated because the uniqueness that distinguishes each group makes it difficult to draw general conclusions. A focus on the common elements that apply across groups could lead to a better understanding of ethnic identity.
种族身份认同对于少数族裔和种族群体成员的心理机能至关重要，但关于这一主题的研究零散且尚无定论。本文是对自1972年以来发表在同行评审期刊上的70项种族身份认同研究的综述。作者讨论了种族身份认同的定义和概念化方式、所测量的组成部分以及实证研究结果。理解种族身份认同的任务很复杂，因为区分每个群体的独特性使得难以得出一般性结论。关注适用于不同群体的共同要素可能有助于更好地理解种族身份认同。
