Abstract
The process of identity formation among Black children is determined by cognitive maturation, current situational factors, and previous socialization influences, including the nature and quality of ego defenses. Recent research and theory demonstrate the independence of Black racial attitudes and Black self‐concept from early childhood through the adolescent years.Keywords
