Abstract:
This study explores how ethnic stereotypes influence adolescent identity and values. It draws conclusions from a qualitative focus group of 12 participants (ages 11-52) from various cultural and generational backgrounds, including members of the Armenian diaspora and other ethnic minorities. The study identified eight key themes: identity formation and cultural duality, media portrayal, daily stereotyping, internalized perceptions, generational changes, coping mechanisms, value influences, and constructive solutions. The findings highlight the complex and changing experiences of youth navigating ethnicity within a multicultural society, emphasizing the important roles of education, media, and family in shaping identity.
