The ideal answer should include:
1. Jean Phinney proposed that ethnic identity develops in three stages:
a) Stage 1: Unexamined ethnic identity. Young adolescents have not yet reflected on what it means to be in a particular ethnic group, and they tend to prefer the values of the majority culture to the values of their minority culture. They generally go along with what their parents and other members of their ethnic group do.
b) Stage 2: Ethnic identity search. Adolescents may remain in stage 1 but experience rejection or humiliation based on their ethnicity or race. These experiences help individuals realize that the values of the majority culture differ dramatically from those of their own group. Adolescents then often engage in more active exploration of their ethnic-racial group.
c) Stage 3: Ethnic-identity achievement. Individuals resolve the conflict between their ethnic-racial identity and the majority culture and acquire a reasonably secure ethnic-racial identity. They may identify primarily with their ethnic group or may have a bicultural identity.
