This dissertation comprises three projects that focus on changes in the self and identity during developmental transitions. In one project, I examine stability and change in global self-esteem across four years of college during the transition into emerging adulthood, and then relate the self-esteem trajectory to expected and actual actual academic achievement, as well as perceptions of self-esteem change. I use the same dataset in the second project, but focus on ethnic variability in academic self-enhancement using three different operationalizations of self-enhancement, and then relate their trajectories to psychological and educational correlates and outcomes. In the third project, I examine stability and change in ethnocultural identity of Mexican-origin children and their families during the transition into adolescence, and then relate them to a range of sociodemographic variables and reports of substance use. Across these projects, I find that the self changes systematically during developmental transitions, and that inter-individual variability in these changes are related to meaningful correlates and consequences.

First published in 1978. This book represents a unique accomplishment in pulling together in one place the broadest collection of material yet published on the psychological problems of veterans of the Vietnam war. It will provide not only an important historical document, but an invaluable resource in detailing many of the issues involved. This book should lay to rest many of the misconceptions about the Vietnam Veteran.
