The process of identity formation can involve interactions between an individual’s self-views and the views that are imposed by others. Focusing on an understudied sample of Asian American adolescents residing in emerging immigrant communities (N 133; 58% female; 22% first generation), the goal of this study was to determine whether the ethnic labels that adolescents choose for themselves converge with the ethnic labels that are ascribed to them from their European American, Asian, and non-Asian ethnic minority peers. Although the concordance of self/ascribed ethnic labeling was modest at best (ranging from 22–36% depending on the relationship), labeling discrepancies were generally not maladaptive for adolescents’ adjustment, either concurrently or over time. One exception was that adolescents who chose a heritage label, but reported that their European American peers would likely ascribe a different heritage label or nonheritage label, tended to also report low quality relationships with European Americans. While modest concordance between self and ascribed ethnic labeling may theoretically provide challenges to identity development, youth appear largely able to take such discrepancies in stride
