Abstract
This study will examine the relationship between ethnic identity, acculturation, stress, trauma, and individual-oriented, as well as social-oriented achievement motivation in youth. The purpose is to examine whether or not ethnic identity, acculturation, stress, and trauma affect individual-oriented and social-oriented achievement motivation. More specifically, researchers hope to gain a better understanding of whether or not those with higher ethnic identity and acculturation will have higher levels of individual-oriented and social-oriented achievement motivation; attributing individuals’ higher success rate in life.
