Sažetak
In this paper the process of ethnic identity formation is analyzed in the population of Zagreb and Knin adolescents (N=101). The study compares host and immigrant adolescents from Bosnia and Herzegovina who immigrated to Croatia during the past 10 years. Ethnic identity is analyzed with regard to gender, length of stay in Croatia, religion, language and the degree of acculturation process with regard to the differences in attitudes and values between adolescents and their parents. The results indicate that the degree of majority ethnic identity, bi-ethnic identity and maintenance of minority ethnic identity largely depend on the degree of acculturation, language use and interethnic contact. The results are interpreted with regard to the well-known psychosocial aspects of adolescent development and the impact of the measured variables on overall health is discussed, as well.
