The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of school uniforms on junior high school students' corporate, school activity, and group membership identities. In this study, corporate identity addressed the degree of connection students felt to their school while school activity identity referred to the degree of involvement students had with school activities. Group membership identity referred to the degree to which students "fit in" with their peers. This study was concerned with how seventh grade students, new to junior high school, created each of these identities and how they maintained them throughout the year.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of school uniforms on junior high school students' corporate, school activity, and group membership identities. In this study, corporate identity addressed the degree of connection students felt to their school while school activity identity referred to the degree of involvement students had with school activities. Group membership identity referred to the degree to which students "fit in" with their peers. This study was concerned with how seventh grade students, new to junior high school, created each of these identities and how they maintained them throughout the year.
520 $a In order to study the effects of uniforms on students' identities, two junior high schools from the same secondary district in Southern California were studied. These schools serviced similar populations of seventh and eighth graders; however, students from Horizon were required to wear school uniforms while students from Norris were not. Data were gathered through inspection of district and school documents pertinent to clothing and student behavior, through observations inside the seventh grade classrooms, during lunch, before and after school, at sporting events, at dances, and during school assemblies, and through interviews with administrators, teachers, and students at both Horizon and Norris.
520 $a Results showed that students' identities at both schools were formed through many of the same ways: clothing, classroom behaviors, lunch-time behaviors, and participation in extra-curricular activities. Also, findings showed that the same three types of peer groups existed at both schools: popular, middle, and unpopular groups; however, dress played a much more significant role in one's peer group affiliation at Norris where uniforms were not worn. Additionally, results from both schools indicated that oftentimes aspects of students' three identities overlapped. Lastly, differences between the two schools indicated that school uniforms, with an appropriate school culture, can successfully direct students' attention away from appearance and onto one's character. Finally, the study concluded that while uniforms can effect a student's attempt at creating various identities on campus, the uniform alone is not as crucial as the culture of the school.
