Torres, Vasti; Baxter Magolda, Marcia B.
Journal of College Student Development, v45 n3 p333-347 May-Jun 2004

Findings indicate that when students reconstruct social knowledge their ethnic identity is positively influenced. Strategies and mechanisms for positively influencing identity development are discussed within a holistic development framework.
