TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Decoding the ethnic labels used by undergraduates of Latin American descent JO - Journal of humanistic counseling A1 - Hipolito-Delgado, Carlos P. SP - 101 EP - 119 VL - 53 IS - 2 N2 - Ethnic labels provide insights to a client's self-definition and meaning making.

RESULTS from a study of 500 undergraduates indicate that those who identified as Chicana/o, Latina/o, Hispanic, "hyphenated American" (e.g., Cuban American), or who identified by nationality differed on key psychological constructs. The importance of self-definition in counseling and research is discussed.
