The dissertation delves into the cultural identity, peer-ethnic relationships, and psychological adjustment of first- and second-generation adolescents with a migration background. The data for this research was collected as part of the "Identity Project" (IP) in Padua's schools. IP is an evidence-based research project aimed at enhancing cultural identity in schools. The study focuses on answering the following research questions: "What are the differences and similarities in cultural identity between first- and second-generation students of immigrant descent?"; "What are the differences and similarities in peer ethnic-racial processes between first- and second-generation students of immigrant descent?"; "What are the differences and similarities in psychological adaptation (measured by depressive symptoms and self-esteem) between first- and second-generation students of immigrant descent?" and "What are the associations among cultural identity, peer ethnic-racial processes, and psychological adaptation among first- and second-generation adolescents of immigrant descent?". Results, strengths, and limitations are discussed.

The data for this research was collected as part of the "Identity Project" (IP) in Padua's schools. IP is an evidence-based research project aimed at enhancing cultural identity in schools. The study focuses on answering the following research questions: "What are the differences and similarities in cultural identity between first- and second-generation students of immigrant descent?"; "What are the differences and similarities in peer ethnic-racial processes between first- and second-generation students of immigrant descent?"; "What are the differences and similarities in psychological adaptation (measured by depressive symptoms and self-esteem) between first- and second-generation students of immigrant descent?" and "What are the associations among cultural identity, peer ethnic-racial processes, and psychological adaptation among first- and second-generation adolescents of immigrant descent?".
