Yet because of their ability to maneuver among their multiple identities, multiracials also adopt flexible cognitive strategies in dealing with their social environments\u2014demonstrating a benefit to having multiple racial identities. The current article reviews recent research involving multiracial participants to examine the behavioral and cognitive outcomes linked to being multiracial and pinpoints possible moderators that may affect these outcomes. Limitations in applying monoracial identity frameworks to multiracial populations are also discussed&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you do enjoy this episode, and would like to support the show, you can do that in a few ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can leave a review and rating on iTunes &#8211; that really helps others to find the show.<\/li>\n<li>You can follow the show on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wcwtp\" target=\"_blank\">@wcwtp<\/a>, and find the website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whocareswhatsthepoint.com\" target=\"_blank\">whocareswhatsthepoint.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>You can also email the show at <a href=\"mailto:contact@whocareswhatsthepoint.com\" target=\"_blank\">contact@whocareswhatsthepoint.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Please feel free to share the link to the show with your friends and colleagues.
