Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), we estimate the determinants and direction of change in individual racial identification among multiracial and monoracial adolescents as they transition to young adulthood. We find that while many multiracials subsequently identify as monoracials, sizable numbers of monoracials also subsequently become multiracials. Native American-whites appear to have the least stable identification. We find strong support that socioeconomic status, gender, and physical appearance shape the direction of change for multiracials, and that black biracials are especially compelled to identify as monoracial blacks.
利用青少年健康全国纵向研究（“青少年健康与发展研究”），我们估计了多种族和单一种族青少年在步入青年期时个人种族认同的决定因素及变化方向。我们发现，虽然许多多种族者后来认同为单一种族，但也有相当数量的单一种族者后来成为多种族者。美洲原住民与白人的种族认同似乎最不稳定。我们发现有力证据表明，社会经济地位、性别和外貌决定了多种族者的变化方向，而且黑白混血儿尤其倾向于认同为单一的黑人种族。
