This research evolves from an emphasis on demonstrating the inferiority of multiracial individuals to understanding their <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Phenomenology_(psychology)\" target=\"_blank\">phenomenological<\/a> experiences. Over time, the emphasis seems to shift from categorizing by race to a focus on ethnicity. The method of inquiring about racial identity appears to have shifted from behavioral observation to self-report. Empirical research examining this phenomenon also seems to become more methodologically rigorous over time. Historically, the struggle to understand multiracial individuals as either marginal or healthy may have been more the result of ethnocentric beliefs on the part of the researchers rather than the identification process of multiracial individuals. It is additionally urged that further research continue to explore this often overlooked and misrepresented subgroup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Examination of Social Science Literature Pertaining to Multiracial Identity: A Historical Perspective Journal of Multicultural Social Work Volume 6, Issue 1 &amp; 2 August 1997 pages 117 &#8211; 138 DOI: 10.1300\/J285v06n01_08 Jack S.
