Abstract
Arab Americans have a unique ethnic identity, influenced by media, stigma, and politics. In this study, Arab Americans reported to what degree they felt that 9/11 impacted their identity, and their sense of belonging immediately before and after 9/11. These results were compared with their present sense of ethnic identity.
