This study examined the ethnic identification, psychological well-being, and intergroup competence of biracial individuals. Using a self-identification measure, the authors explored whether biracial individuals would identify with one, both, or none of their ethnic heritages and the implications of these orientations on psychological well-being and intergroup competence. Sixty-six Black/White and Asian/White individuals were included. Not differing between the 2 biracial groups, results revealed that participants were most likely to be biculturally identified, followed by minority identified and then nonidentified. Furthermore, psychological well-being and intergroup anxiety varied as a function of identity. Suggestions for future research with biracial identity are discussed.
本研究考察了混血个体的种族认同、心理健康状况和群体间能力。作者使用一种自我认同测量方法，探讨混血个体是否会认同其种族遗产中的一方、双方或都不认同，以及这些认同取向对心理健康状况和群体间能力的影响。研究纳入了66名黑人/白人以及亚裔/白人个体。结果显示，两个混血群体之间没有差异，参与者最有可能具有双文化认同，其次是少数群体认同，然后是无认同。此外，心理健康状况和群体间焦虑随认同情况而变化。文中还讨论了未来关于混血身份研究的建议。
