The purpose of this conceptual article is to advance theory and research on one critical aspect of the context of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development: ethnic-racial settings, or the objective and subjective nature of group representation within an individual's context. We present a new conceptual framework that consists of four dimensions: (1) perspective (that settings can be understood in both objective and subjective terms); (2) differentiation (how groups are defined in a setting); (3) heterogeneity (the range of groups in a setting); and (4) proximity (the distance between the individual and the setting). Clarifying this complexity is crucial for advancing a more coherent understanding of how ethnic-racial settings are related to ERI development.
本文旨在深入探讨族裔认同发展背景的一个关键方面，即族裔种族环境，或个体背景下群体代表性的客观和主观性质。我们提出了一个新的概念框架，包含四个维度：（1）视角（即环境可从客观和主观两方面理解）；（2）区分度（环境中群体的定义方式）；（3）异质性（环境中的群体范围）；（4）接近度（个体与环境之间的距离）。阐明这种复杂性对于深入理解族裔种族环境与族裔认同发展之间的关系至关重要。
