Respondents completed online measures of their personal ethnic identity (minority, White, and multiracial), perceived parental ethnic identity, parental closeness, and attitudes about the state of race relations and the need for social action in the United States. Using path modeling, results show that part-White biracial individuals perceive their ethnic identity to be strongly linked to their parental racial identities, especially when they had closer parental relationships. Moreover, stronger minority identity was linked to less colorblind attitudes, and greater White identity was linked to greater colorblind attitudes suggesting that patterns of identity may influence how biracial individuals view race-relations and the need for social action. Implications for biracial well-being and their understanding of prejudice and discrimination are discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perceptions of Parents\u2019 Ethnic Identities and the Personal Ethnic-Identity and Racial Attitudes of Biracial Adults Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology Volume 21, Number 1 (January 2015) pages 65-75 DOI: 10.1037\/a0037542 Cesalie T.
