- Abstract
This study examined the relationship between preferred ethnic labels and cultural, psychosocial, and academic variables in a sample of 174 Cambodian high school students in the United States. Results indicated that participants who chose "American" ethnic labels reported higher scores on White/Anglo orientation and on English language usage and fluency, whereas participants who chose the "Cambodian" ethnic label reported more Khmer language usage and frequency. Students who chose the combined "Cambodian American" ethnic label reported stronger beliefs in the utility of education and higher academic aspirations. The findings from this study expand the research on ethnic identity by focusing on 2nd generation Cambodian adolescents.
