Abstract
This article describes the rationale, methodology, and relevancy of research on themes of self-construction and self-integration in the narratives of second generation Korean American young adults. It also outlines the philosophical perspective on research as a constructive paradigm that understands reality as consisting of the meanings people imbue into their experiences according to their particular sociocultural contexts. Lastly, as a co-constructor of reality, the researcher conducted ethnographic interviews and participant observation among these young adults, attempting to describe their internalized voices, authorities, and values, to explore their construction of self, and to examine the role of the Korean American church in this process.
