Abstract
The study examines several dimensions of ethnic identity in parents and children from Israeli-Jewish families who had resided in the United States for at least five years. Three components of identity (American, Israeli, and Jewish) were assessed using three different instruments which tapped certain aspects of behavioral, cognitive, and affective domains. The pattern of relationship between identity scores varied among the different modalities of measurement. The results indicate that identity components are complex, rather than unidimensional constructs and that they manifest themselves differently in different domains.
