For this study, I examined the relationship between participation in ethnic clubs and organizations and increases in racial/ethnic awareness and understanding for 184 male and female Asian Pacific American undergraduates using a longitudinal survey from 1990 to 1994. The results show that participation in such activities deepens APA students' commitment to their racial/ethnic community interests.
