Pathways of racial self-identification are developed from a nationally representative sample of adolescents aged 14 \u2013 18, measured again 5 years later. <strong>A significant proportion of multiracial adolescents change racial self-identification across time. Youth who ever report being multiracial are 4 times as likely to switch self-identification as to report consistent multiracial identities.<\/strong> Across this time, more multiracial adolescents either add a racial category (diversify) or subtract one (consolidate) than maintain consistent multiracial self-categorization. Exploratory multinomial analyses show few differences between these pathways on select psychological and social characteristics. Results lend quantitative support to qualitative studies\u00a0 indicating the fluidity of racial self-categorization.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sociology.uiowa.edu\/hitlin\/Publications\/HitlinBrownElder2006ChildDevelopment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Racial Self-Categorization in Adolescence: Multiracial Development and Social Pathways Child Development Volume 77, Number 5, September\/October 2006 Pages 1298\u20131308 DOI: 10.1111\/j.1467-8624.2006.00935.x Steven Hitlin, Assistant Professor of Sociology University of Iowa J.
