Little is known about how African American males view themselves and how those perspectives affect their lives; their mortality, imprisonment, and unemployment rates make them a uniquely imperiled population. Based upon the theoretical foundation that maturation and engagement with self, world, and environment are directly influenced by the psycho-social identity one accepts, this study explored the development of 15 urban African American males by critically analyzing their self-concept, ethnic identity and world view. The study also examined the significant experiences and lessons associated with their prior, collective participation in a male development program. Data included a focus group interview, in-depth individual interviews, the Male Development Program mission statement and objectives, and lyrics to several songs the participants wrote and published collaboratively. Qualitative analysis involving the thematically associative data coding process revealed that most of the participants described themselves in terms reflecting highly complex self-identity and a high potential for resilience. They conveyed a convincing acceptance of, satisfaction with, and respect for their own and other's ethnicity, and viewed themselves as significant members of society empowered to effect social change, obtain, and share wealth. A combination of familial support, committed friendships, focused ambition, positive male role models, spiritual upbringing, and involvement in a male development program contributed to this attitude. Social change would entail community institutions establishing unified child-rearing practices and authentic programmatic conventions aimed at increasing social stability and spiritual, educational, economic, and political advancement among African American males.Subjects--Topical Terms:
