Ethnic identity is an established construct in understanding how ethnic adolescents navigate the interfacing of differing cultures as they address the developmental task of identity formation. To date, however, ethnic identity models have assumed a Western-based perspective of identity development and generalized it to all ethnic groups. Further, although it has been suggested that ethnic identity has an effect on psychological adjustment, the concept of ethnic identity rarely has been explored among adolescents exhibiting difficulties. In particular, the issue of ethnicity is seldom considered in the juvenile delinquency literature.

520 $a Ethnic identity is an established construct in understanding how ethnic adolescents navigate the interfacing of differing cultures as they address the developmental task of identity formation. To date, however, ethnic identity models have assumed a Western-based perspective of identity development and generalized it to all ethnic groups. Further, although it has been suggested that ethnic identity has an effect on psychological adjustment, the concept of ethnic identity rarely has been explored among adolescents exhibiting difficulties. In particular, the issue of ethnicity is seldom considered in the juvenile delinquency literature.
520 $a This qualitative study explores the processes involved in ethnic identity formation for Southeast and East Asian young offenders. Using grounded theory, the primary data consist of 16 in-depth semi-structured interviews with adolescents between the ages of 15 to 19 years. The stories of these interviewees support the importance of the interplay between structural inequity, unfulfilled developmental needs, underlying cultural tendencies, and the compromising of cultural protective mechanisms. Ethnic identity played a notable role in how risk factors, protective factors, and overall identity formed for this group of adolescents. In particular, Asian collectivistic culture played an influential role in ethnic identity formation. Due to a deep need for a sense of belonging and group memberships, identity formation began from an ascribed sense of self that is comprised of various group identities. A cultural emphasis on a group orientation along with the developmental phase of adolescence, highlighted the relevance of three key social contexts---that of the familial collective, peers, and the community/neighbourhood. Concurrently, the dynamics within a child's social contextual domains coupled with a cultural emphasis on fulfilling role expectations and social obligations influence identity development, as well as one's vulnerability to other group memberships, such as negative peer subcultures.
520 $a Theoretical approaches to ethnic identity formation based on Western individualism, therefore, are not applicable to this subpopulation of Asian adolescents. As a result, a multidimensional model is proposed that considers individual- and community-level factors. In particular, the model suggests that a number of concentrically embedded and interdependent social contexts and cultural forces are actively engaged in developing group identities. Factors like cultural tendencies and values, and developmental concerns are paramount, while economic and social stressors shape the effect of ethnic and other sorts of social groups that surround adolescents and their families. In turn, this affects how identified risk factors emerge and change in different sociocultural contexts.
