Racing to Theory or Retheorizing Race? Understanding the Struggle to Build a Multiracial Identity Theory
TLDR
The authors provide a critical overview of multiracial identity development theories, examine the links between theory and research, and explore the challenges to multireacial identity theory construction, and propose considerations for future directions in theorizing racial identity development among the mixed-race population.Abstract:
Empirical research on the growing multiracial population in the United States has focused largely on the documentation of racial identification, analysis of psychological adjustment, and understanding the broader political consequences of mixed-race identification. Efforts toward theory construction on multiracial identity development, however, have been largely disconnected from empirical data, mired in disciplinary debates, and bound by historically specific assumptions about race and racial group membership. This study provides a critical overview of multiracial identity development theories, examines the links between theory and research, explores the challenges to multiracial identity theory construction, and proposes considerations for future directions in theorizing racial identity development among the mixed-race population.read more

Perceived discrimination, group identification, and life satisfaction among multiracial people: a test of the rejection-identification model.
TL;DR: Self-stereotyping was the only aspect of group identification that mediated a positive relationship between perceived discrimination and life satisfaction, suggesting that multiracial identification's protective properties rest in the fact that it provides an collective identity where one "fits."
