Research clearly indicates that ethnic groups differ significantly
on levels of mental and physical health, antisocial behavior, and
educational attainment. This book explains these variations among
ethnic groups with respect to their psychological and social
functioning and tests competing hypotheses about the mechanisms
that might cause the functioning to be better, worse, or different
in pattern from other groups. Attention is paid to educational
attainments, antisocial behavior, schizophrenia and suicide, and to
the complex and changing patterns of ethnic identity. The book also
focuses on evidence on risk and protective factors that is used
systematically to ask whether such factors might account for the
differences in both migration histories and ethnic mixture. It
concludes with a discussion of the multiple meanings of ethnicity,
the major variations among ethnic groups, and the policy
implications of the findings discussed in the book.
