Using a Race Self Complexity (Winston et al., 2004) theoretical framework, this study used an open-ended question to examine the racial self-identification fluidity of 66 adolescents during the 7th, 8th, and 11th grades. This sample included 22 Black\/White1 multiracial adolescents, as well as a matched sample of 22 Black and 22 White adolescents. Seventy-three percent of the multiracial adolescents changed their racial self-identification in the form of two time change patterns with a number of consolidating and differentiating racial self-identification variations. There was no change for the monoracial adolescents. These results suggest that within the lives of multiracial adolescents, the process of racial self-identification may be a personality characteristic adaptation to the meaning of race in American society that may change across time, place, and role.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.interscience.wiley.com\/cgi-bin\/fulltext\/123314993\/PDFSTART\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personality Characteristic Adaptations: Multiracial Adolescents&#8217; Patterns of Racial Self-Identification Change Journal of Research on Adolescence Volume 20, Issue\u00a02\u00a0(June 2010) Pages 432 &#8211; 455 Published Online: 2010-03-08 DOI: 10.1111\/j.1532-7795.2010.00638.x Rodney L.
