- Abstract:
- This study investigated which adaptation method, ethnic or racial identity development, and acculturation style, in Haitian adolescents is a better predictor of Mental Health as measured by depression, anxiety, and self-esteem and the external process of aggression. Eighty-six students in a summer program participated. The ages ranged from 10 to 15 years, and 31 males, and 55 females. Forty-eight participant self-reported as Haitian, 26 African American, one Caribbean, and eight as mixed or other with three failing to report any ethnicity. The regression models failed to support the study’s hypothesis. Secondary analyses through correlations of all variables and then dividing the sample by gender and then self-identified race showed that this sample failed to perform in ways past research would predict. Only the subcategory of physical aggression correlated with acculturation style between the independent and dependent variables. Study limitations and tentative interpretations are presented for these findings.
