| Abstract
|
:
|
The story of “What am I” for Arab/Middle Eastern American adolescents is a complex journey of identification and acculturating into American society. Racial and ethnic identity and acculturation are core components for the social and psychological development of adolescents and has been linked to psychological well-being, decrease in stress levels and a decrease in health risks (Amer, 2005; Berry, 1998; Phinney, 2003). Arab/Middle Eastern American population can internally categorize and self-identify with different racial categories and ethnic groups (Awad, 2010; Naber, 2000). These issues are increasing in importance for the American education system since, 25% of the Arab/Middle Eastern population within the United States is under the age of 18 (Asi & Beaulieu, 2013; Brittingham & de la Cruz, 2005).
