The present study represents a preliminary investigation of Ramirez' contention that developing a multicultural identity would lead to better mental health and more life satisfaction. Using a tentative index of a multicultural perspective analysis indicated that, although a multicultural perspective is associated with more life satisfaction, it accounts for only 8% of the variance. Further, one of the measures used by Ramirez to measure an aspect of a multicultural perspective was not correlated with life satisfaction, and another correlated negatively. This latter measure accounts for only 6% of the variance in life satisfaction. Combined, these findings provide limited support for Ramirez perspective by explaining 14% of the overall variance in life satisfaction.
本研究是对拉米雷斯观点的初步调查，其观点认为形成多元文化身份认同会带来更好的心理健康和更高的生活满意度。使用一个多元文化视角分析的初步指标表明，尽管多元文化视角与更高的生活满意度相关，但它仅占方差的8%。此外，拉米雷斯用来衡量多元文化视角一个方面的指标之一与生活满意度不相关，另一个则呈负相关。后一个指标仅占生活满意度方差的6%。综合来看，这些发现通过解释生活满意度总体方差的14%，为拉米雷斯的观点提供了有限的支持。
