Results across three studies suggested that malleable racial identification was associated with lower psychological well-being. Study 2 found that unstable regard (i.e., fluctuating private regard about their multiracial background) was the mechanism through which malleable racial identification predicted lower psychological health.\u00a0 Results of Study 3 suggested that dialectical self-views played an important moderating role that determines whether malleability is associated with negative psychological outcomes.\u00a0 <strong>The present studies uniquely show that malleable racial identification among multiracial people is maladaptive for psychological health, but that this may depend on whether or not people have tolerance for ambiguity and inconsistency in the self.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juggling Multiple Racial Identities: Malleable Racial Identification and Psychological Well-Being Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology Volume 15, Issue 3, July 2009 pages 243-254 DOI: 10.1037\/a0014373 Diana T.
