Abstract
The current study examines how ethnic identity, American identity, and immigrant parents’ identity predict Latino/a adolescents’ psychological well-being and educational aspirations. For adolescents, American identity predicted academic aspirations and perceived stress and ethnic identity predicted depression and awareness of microagressions. Parents’ identity influence on adolescents’ educational goals will be discussed.
