We examined whether the longitudinal inter-relation between discrimination and identity varies according to the perpetrator of discrimination. We used three waves of data from early adolescents (n = 387; ages 11-12 at Wave 1) to assess the strength and direction of relations between perceived discrimination from adults and peers vis-à-vis ethnic-racial identity exploration, commitment, private regard, and public regard. Cross-lagged autoregressive path analyses showed that more frequent discrimination, regardless of source, had reciprocal and significant longitudinal inter-relations with exploration and public regard. Peer discrimination predicted lower commitment and private regard one year later, whereas adult discrimination did not. We discuss the implications of these findings as they relate to the role of peers and ethnic-racial identity processes during early adolescence.

Job Attitude

Scores on perceptions of racial discrimination, locus of control, job satisfaction, and job complexity in a national sample of 3,054 indicated that perceived racial discrimination is associated with an individual's disposition, job attitude, and perceived job characteristics. Respondents with an external locus of control perceived racial discrimination more frequently than did those with an internal locus of control. Conversely, job satisfaction and job complexity were also associated with perceived discrimination because of race.
