Dispassionate consideration of evidence presented in a
non-technical style ? Focus on multiple meanings of ethnicity ?
Discussion of possible causal mechanisms
內容簡介：
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.
