Self-Esteem and the Evaluation of Ethnic Identity among Turkish and Dutch Adolescents in the Netherlands

Abstract: A nationwide sample of Turkish and Dutch adolescents was used to answer two questions. Do Turkish youths in the Netherlands demonstrate negative effects of minority status on global self-esteem or specific components of self-esteem? What is the meaning of ethnic identity for the self-concept of these youngsters? The results showed that Turkish adolescents had a lower score for global self-esteem and a higher score for three components--academic ability, sports achievements, and evaluation of one's ethnic ident… Show more

“…So ethnic minority members do not have to look elsewhere for the construction of a positive ethnic identity. Studies in The Netherlands con rm the prediction that ethnic minority youth evaluate their ethnic group membership more positively than do their Dutch contemporaries (Verkuyten, 1990(Verkuyten, , 1995. We accordingly expected Turkish early adolescents to express more positive ethnic self-esteem than Dutch contemporaries.…”

“…Research has consistently confirmed that ethnic minorities, especially those from stigmatized groups, are more likely than majority-group members to demonstrate ethnicity salience (e.g., Phinney, 1989;Verkuyten, 2002), as, for example, by including references to their ethnicity in their self-descriptions (e.g., Hutnik, 1991;Verkuyten, 1990). There is considerable evidence (see Phinney, 1990) that ethnicity salience, especially at the basic level of self-definition , is largely dependent upon being a distinctive minority in the immediate and larger societal context.…”

“…Il semble donc que le passage à l'adolescence combiné au statut minoritaire particulier des membres des minorités raciales en Ontario ne provoque pas de différence sur le plan du concept de soi des élèves. De plus, contrairement aux études menées sur le sujet, il n'existe pas de différence entre les deux groupes pour les concepts de soi spécifiques comme l'apparence physique, qui constituait le domaine le plus fréquemment cité par les chercheurs (Verkuyten, 1991;Wade, 1991). Finalement, les analyses n'ont révélé aucune différence entre les concepts de soi des filles et des garçons des deux groupes.…”

“…Quelques-unes incluent des Hispano-Américains (Grossman, Wirt et Davids, 1985) et des Américains asiatiques (Howes et Wu, 1990). Ces études n'ont pas trouvé de lien entre l'appartenance à une minorité ethnique et/ou visible et le concept de soi global (Gibbs, 1985;Harter, 1990;Verkuyten 1986;Wade, 1991 L'appartenance à une minorité raciale ne semble donc pas affecter le concept de soi global, mais elle pourrait affecter certaines de ses composantes (Verkuyten, 1991). L'apparence physique est le concept de soi spécifique le plus mentionné dans les recherches.…”
