The purpose of this study was to address minority and non-minority adolescent development and wellness by examining the relationship among ethnic identity, acculturation, mattering, and six areas of wellness among adolescents (spirituality, self-direction, schoolwork, leisure, love, and friendship). Adolescents' identity development process includes the development of gender and sexual identities, and an ethnic identity. The development of ethnic identity involves a sense of belonging to an ethnic group. Ethnic identity is an aspect of the acculturation process, during which changes in cultural attitudes, values, and behaviors take place as a result of contact with two or more cultures, resulting in feelings of belonging to one or both cultures. This belonging leads to a greater sense of well being, and is important for adolescents. Adolescents strive to belong to social groups, including ethnic groups. This striving for belonging, or mattering, is complex for minority adolescents, who are seeing to belong and "matter" both to their own ethnic group and to mainstream culture groups. The accomplishment of a sense of ethnic identity during adolescence, combined with a sense of belonging through negotiation of the acculturation process, contributes to a positive identity, and overall wellness.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to address minority and non-minority adolescent development and wellness by examining the relationship among ethnic identity, acculturation, mattering, and six areas of wellness among adolescents (spirituality, self-direction, schoolwork, leisure, love, and friendship). Adolescents' identity development process includes the development of gender and sexual identities, and an ethnic identity. The development of ethnic identity involves a sense of belonging to an ethnic group. Ethnic identity is an aspect of the acculturation process, during which changes in cultural attitudes, values, and behaviors take place as a result of contact with two or more cultures, resulting in feelings of belonging to one or both cultures. This belonging leads to a greater sense of well being, and is important for adolescents. Adolescents strive to belong to social groups, including ethnic groups. This striving for belonging, or mattering, is complex for minority adolescents, who are seeing to belong and "matter" both to their own ethnic group and to mainstream culture groups. The accomplishment of a sense of ethnic identity during adolescence, combined with a sense of belonging through negotiation of the acculturation process, contributes to a positive identity, and overall wellness.
520 $a Individual studies have linked ethnic identity, acculturation, and or mattering to wellness; however, no studies exist which examine all of these processes simultaneously and the effects they have upon wellness in minority and non-minority adolescents. For this study, minority and non-minority adolescent volunteers (N = 462) were administered the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, the Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale, the General Mattering Scale, the Mattering to Others Questionnaire, the Wellness Evaluation of Life Style-Teenage, and a demographic questionnaire.
520 $a Analysis of three structural equation models for the total participants, and for the minority (n = 176) and non-minority groups (n = 286) revealed the mattering and acculturation explain a significant portion of the variance for adolescents and that ethnic identity explains a significant portion of the variance for minorities. However, for the non-minority participants, no significant portion of the variance in the six areas of wellness was predicated by the hypothesized model. Analysis of descriptive statistics indicated no significant differences in the mean scores of ethnic identity, acculturation, mattering, and wellness between the minority and non-minority groups.
520 $a Considerations for counselors who work with adolescents, implications for counselor educators, and suggestions for future research were provided. There is a need for future research to continue the line of research presented in this dissertation.
