Nassar-McMillan, Sylvia C.; Lambert, Richard G.; Hakim-Larson, Julie
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v39 n1 p38-47 Jan 2011
The authors examined discrimination history, backlash fear, and ethnic identity of Arab Americans nationally at 3 times, beginning shortly after September 11, 2001. Relations between variables were moderate, and discrimination history and backlash fear were statistically significant predictors of ethnic identity. Implications for acculturation and ethnic identity are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)
