Although sociologists recognize many contextual factors associated with racial group membership, relatively little attention has been given to understanding the specific factors\u2014such as self-perceptions, socioeconomic incentives, and family pressures\u2014that relate to changes in racial self-identification, especially among children of immigrants individuals who may have a relatively high propensity for inconsistency in racial identification. Using two waves of data from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icpsr.umich.edu\/icpsrweb\/RCMD\/studies\/20520\" target=\"_blank\">Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study<\/a> and guided by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Social_identity_theory\" target=\"_blank\">social identity theory<\/a>, the authors seek to (1) explore the prevalence of changes in racial self-identification over time within this sample and (2) understand the mechanisms that may contribute to changes in self-identification. The results indicate that self-esteem, self-worth, and family cohesion are related to an individual\u2019s reporting a change in racial identification between waves. Socioeconomic status and depression are not related to changes in racial identification.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/sre.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2015\/10\/26\/2332649215611685.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probing Change in Racial Self-identification: A Focus on Children of Immigrants Sociology of Race and Ethnicity Published online before print 2015-10-26 DOI: 10.1177\/2332649215611685 Thomas J.
