Abstract

Jewish Americans may grapple with issues of ethnic identity differently than the larger White American group. Drawn from a large multisite sample ( = 8,501), 280 Jewish American (207 female, 73 male) emerging adults were compared with White American and ethnic minority samples on ethnic and U.S. identity. Jewish Americans rated themselves as significantly higher on measures of ethnic and U.S. identity compared with White Americans but not as highly as ethnic minorities. Ethnic identity search, affirmation, and resolution also predicted higher self-esteem for Jewish Americans, similar to the pattern for other ethnic groups. In addition, ethnic identity search and affirmation moderated the link between perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms among Jewish Americans.

摘要

美国犹太人在处理种族身份问题上可能与美国白人主体群体有所不同。从一个大型多地点样本（N = 8501）中抽取了280名美国犹太裔新兴成年人（207名女性，73名男性），并将其与美国白人和少数族裔样本在种族和美国身份方面进行了比较。与美国白人相比，美国犹太人在种族和美国身份测量上给自己的评分显著更高，但不如少数族裔高。种族身份探索、确认和解决也预测了美国犹太人更高的自尊，这与其他种族群体的模式相似。此外，种族身份探索和确认调节了美国犹太人中感知到的歧视与抑郁症状之间的联系。
