The review reports, citing Huang and Stormshak (2011), a longitudinal finding that "the most common pattern of change in the sample was one where youth evidenced an increasing trajectory of ethnic identity" measured as a composite of exploration, resolution, and affirmation. The review does not print effect sizes for this pattern.
"Huang and Stormshak (2011) found that among a diverse sample of ethnic minority youth followed from sixth to ninth grades, the most common pattern of change in the sample was one where youth evidenced an increasing trajectory of ethnic identity (operationalized as a composite of exploration, resolution, and affirmation) over the 4-year period."
