High school students who belong to multiple racial\/ethnic groups (N = 182) were asked to indicate the group with which they primarily identify. Participants were then classified as identifying with a low-status group (i.e., Black or Latino), a high-status group (i.e., Asian or White), or multiple groups (e.g., Black and White, etc.). Results showed that, compared with multiracial individuals who identified primarily with a low- or high-status group, those who identified with multiple groups tended to report either equal or higher psychological well-being and social engagement.\u00a0 Potential explanations and implications for understanding multiracial identity are discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.interscience.wiley.com\/cgi-bin\/fulltext\/121647664\/PDFSTART\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Interpretation of Multiracial Status and Its Relation to Social Engagementand Psychological Well-Being Journal of Social Issues Volume 65, Number1, (March 2009) pages 35-49 DOI: 10.1111\/j.1540-4560.2008.01586.x Kevin R.
