The purpose of the study is to examine how Filipina American high school girls formulate their own senses of identity. Fifty-one Filipino American high school students between the ages of fifteen and eighteen who resided in Los Angeles County were interviewed face-to-face. Thirty-six girls were interviewed. Fifteen boys were also interviewed as a comparison group to test whether responses between boys and girls would differ, and whether gender was a salient variable in identity formation. The study examines which other factors influence Filipino American adolescents' identity construction. It focuses on how Filipina American high school students construct identity while negotiating the varying cultural codes among family, peers, and environment while being ideologically situated between different generational and cultural points of reference. The interview data revealed that Filipina American high school girls have different experiences growing up than do Filipino American boys or other non-Filipina girls due to their gender and cultural background. The influence of the Philippines' past colonial history with the United States upon the girls' identity formation was also examined; its influence was found to be negligible among this adolescent age group due to the students' lack of knowledge regarding Philippine colonization. The study found that intra-ethnic competition and differences in the dynamic process of socialization and acculturation existed between 1.5 (those who immigrated between the ages of five and seventeen) and second generation girls. When defining themselves ethnically, the girls typically compared and contrasted their own beliefs and behaviors to those of their peers who were of the same and different immigrant generations. The students also defined their identities as Filipino Americans in contrast to what it would mean to be Filipinos living in the Philippines. Regardless of whether students had spent the majority of their lives in the Philippines or had never been to the country, they typically still used the Philippines as a reference point in constructing and explaining their ethnic identities.
