Abstract

The measurement of internal ethnic identity and external ethnic identity showed that Chinese American Immigrants could be differentiated into different identity groups. Additionally, Internal ethnic identity significantly predicted salience of ethnicity and loss of face. Income, ethnicity salience, external ethnic identity, and loss of face were significant predictors of acculturative stress.
