Studies addressing racial\/ethnic identity development have often overlooked the developmental cultural context. The impact of growing up with contradictory cultures has not been well explored. Immersion in multiple cultures may produce mixed patterns of strengths deficits.<\/p>\n

This study reviews the literature’s currently inconsistent usage of the terms race, ethnicity, and culture; introduces the concept and theoretical framework of Cultural Homelessness<\/em> [(CH)]; relates CH to multicultural integration; and develops two study-specific measures (included) to examine the construct validity of CH.<\/p>\n

The sample\u2019s (N= 448, 67% women) racial, ethnic, and cultural mixture was coded back three generations using complex coding criteria. Empirical findings supported the CH-specific pattern of cognitive and social strengths with emotional difficulties: social adaptability and cross-cultural competence but also low self-esteem and shame regarding differences.<\/p>\n
