Participants were interviewed using a semistructured protocol, and the interviews were recorded, transcribed, and then coded for themes by research team members. Four primary themes were identified: encounters with racism, reference group orientation, the \u201cchameleon\u201d experience, and the importance of social context in identity development. A number of subthemes also were identified. Although several of the themes mirrored those associated with contemporary biracial and multiracial identity development models, new themes centering on the adoption of multiple self-labels reflecting both monoracial and multiracial backgrounds emerged as well. Implications of the findings for future research and practice are identified.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/psy6129.alliant.wikispaces.net\/file\/view\/Miville+et+al+2005.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chameleon Changes: An Exploration of Racial Identity Themes of Multiracial People Journal of Counseling Psychology Volume 52, Number 4 (October 2005) pages 507-516 DOI: 10.1037\/0022-0167.52.4.507 Marie L.
