Ethnic identity research focuses on how individuals identify with and experience their ethnic group. This can include exploring how individuals perceive their ethnic background, how they interact with others from the same or different ethnic groups, and how their ethnic identity influences their beliefs, behaviors, and sense of self. Researchers may study factors such as cultural traditions, language, values, and experiences of discrimination in relation to ethnic identity. Overall, this research area seeks to better understand the complexities of ethnic identity and its impact on individuals and society.
