Produktbeschreibung
Adolescence is one of the most difficult stages to
negotiate successfully and the dramatic physical,
emotional and psychological changes which occur at
this time have a significant influence on the self-
concept of the adolescent. It is that much more
difficult for the adolescent who is placed in a
diverse cultural setting and is confronted with
confusion about his/her ethnic identity, his/her
present cultural milieu and the physical and
psychological changes which challenge them in
forming a new adult identity. During her research
the author''s findings showed that black adolescent
youth in trans-racial care who had some knowledge
about their cultural roots were more able to begin
the process of ethnic identity achievement which led
to the development of a positive self-concept. This
in turn led to better psychological and emotional
adjustment and healthy ways of coping with problems
in general. In contrast those adolescents who had
relinquished their own culture for the new white
culture they were emerged in, led to a negative self-
concept, poor adjustment and negative ways of coping
with problems
