We use longitudinal survey responses to selectively recruit individuals for in-depth interviews about the reasons behind their changing responses to questions about their race(s) and primary racial or ethnic identities between 1988 and 2007. We find a wide variety of changes in 33 individuals\u2019 answers to questions about their race, ancestry and Hispanic origin. To date, we have completed in-depth interviews with nine of these individuals. In many cases, respondents do not remember changing their answers and do not consider themselves to have changed their identities. Respondents\u2019 post-hoc accounts of varied answers often focus on events or thoughts near the time of the survey and on details of question-wording. Many also report a rationalized process for selective reporting of their race(s), depending on the purpose of the form (e.g., job application versus social club).<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/paa2009.princeton.edu\/download.aspx?submissionId=90283\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changing Answers but Not Identities: A Qualitative Investigation of Race Responses in a Longitudinal Survey Population Association of America 2009 Annual Meeting Marriott Renaissance Center Detroit, Michigan 2009-04-16 19 pages Kelsey Poss University of Minnesota Carolyn A.
