For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture.

We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...
