Concurrently, researchers have deepened their investigations of the attitudinal and identity aspects of \u201ccolor,\u201d that is the ways that people\u2019s racial and political attitudes vary based on skin tone among members of the same racial group, particularly black Americans. This paper attempts to blend research on racial fluidity and color into an exploration of adolescent racial identity formation. I examine the effect skin tone on the likelihood and type of racial identity change among multiracial black adolescents as they transition into adulthood. My results reveal that lighter skinned adolescents are more likely to change their identification to a non-black single race, while darker skinned adolescents are more likely to change their identification to black only.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.wixstatic.com\/ugd\/5fff9b_c54e4332d2c948c3b047cf04bf07d273.pdf?index=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper attempts to blend research on racial fluidity and color into an exploration of adolescent racial identity formation.
