Building on existing literature on ethnic/racial identity in emerging adulthood, we compared between-group differences for Multiracial and Monoracial participants and relevant within-group relationships for Multiracial participants. Participants were college students (n = 888; 67% women; Mage = 21.7; SD = 5.58) categorized into three groups: Monoracial White (61%), Multiracial (17%), and Monoracial Minoritized (22%). Measures included ethnic racial identity (ERI) exploration and commitment, discrimination, and features of Multiracial identity. The survey was sent through campus email and completed electronically. Monoracial Minoritized participants reported higher discrimination and ERI commitment and exploration than Multiracial and Monoracial White participants. Multiracial participants reported higher ERI exploration and discrimination than Monoracial White participants. Multiracial participants' ERI exploration and racial conflict explained ERI commitment in regression models. Multiracial individuals should be researched and intervened with differentially from other racial groups, with variables specific to their unique experiences.
基于关于成年初期种族/民族认同的现有文献，我们比较了多种族和单一种族参与者之间的组间差异，以及多种族参与者的相关组内关系。参与者为大学生（n = 888；67%为女性；年龄中位数 = 21.7；标准差 = 5.58），分为三组：单一种族白人（61%）、多种族（17%）和单一种族少数族裔（22%）。测量指标包括种族民族认同（ERI）探索和投入、歧视以及多种族认同的特征。调查问卷通过校园邮件发送，并以电子方式完成。单一种族少数族裔参与者报告的歧视、ERI投入和探索程度高于多种族和单一种族白人参与者。多种族参与者报告的ERI探索和歧视程度高于单一种族白人参与者。在回归模型中，多种族参与者的ERI探索和种族冲突解释了ERI投入情况。对于多种族个体，应与其他种族群体进行不同的研究和干预，并考虑其独特经历所特有的变量。
