In order to test my hypothesis, correlations and regression analyses were run through SPSS.
Correlations
There was no significant relationship between ethnic identity, prejudice, and psychological well-being.
Hypothesis Testing
Ethnic identity and perceived discrimination were not significant predictors of psychological well-being in adoptees. Furthermore, this relationship did not differ based on adoptee identity (i.e. ethnic identity and perceived discrimination were not significant predictors of psychological well-being in all adoptee groups). However, ethnic identity was found to be a significant predictor of collective self-esteem.
In addition to a statistical analysis, an interview analysis was done to find common themes between adoptees.
