As developmental scholars increasingly study ethnic and racial identity among white youth, careful reflection is needed regarding its framing, implementation, and interpretation. In this three-part conceptual paper, we offer a foundation for such reflection. First, we discuss the sociocultural context of white supremacy that shapes U.S. society, psychology, and adolescent development, and situate the study of ethnic and racial identity among white youth within this context. Second, we consider Janet Helms's White Racial Identity Development model, reviewing theory and research building on her argument that race-and whiteness, specifically-must be centered to achieve racial justice-oriented scholarship on white identity. We conclude by offering four guiding insights for conducting critical research on racial identity development among white youth.
随着发展学者越来越多地研究白人青年的族裔和种族认同，需要仔细思考其框架、实施和解释。在这篇由三部分组成的概念论文中，我们为这种思考提供了基础。首先，我们讨论了构成美国社会、心理学和青少年发展的白人至上主义的社会文化背景，并将白人青年的族裔和种族认同研究置于这一背景下。其次，我们考虑了珍妮特·赫尔姆斯的白人种族认同发展模型，回顾了在她的观点基础上建立的理论和研究，即必须以种族和白人，特别是为中心，才能实现以实现种族正义为导向的白人认同研究。最后，我们提出了关于白人青年种族认同发展进行批判性研究的四条指导意见。
