This study was designed to determine whether the length of time living in the United States negatively correlates with the ethnic identity of first generation Haitian high school students. The population cohort was a convenience sample of 83 Haitian high school students that included 41 females and 42 males. Phinney's Multi-Group Ethnic Identity Measure was administered to all participants to determine their level of ethnic identity. The results indicated statistical significance for self-identification, affirmation and belonging and ethnic identity achievements. No relationship was found between the total ethnic identity score and the length of time living in the United States. (Contains 2 tables.)
