Bicultural and biracial individuals (those who identify either with two cultures or two races) are often denied membership in the groups with which they identify, an experience referred to as identity denial. The present studies used an experimental design to test the effects of identity denial on physiological and self-reported stress, and naturalistic behavioral responses in a controlled laboratory setting for both bicultural (Study 1; N = 126) and biracial (Study 2; N = 119) individuals. The results suggest that compared to an identity-irrelevant denial, bicultural participants who were denied their American identity and Minority/White biracial individuals who were denied their White identity reported greater stress and were more likely to verbally reassert their identity. Bicultural participants also demonstrated slower cortisol recovery compared to those in the identity-irrelevant denial condition. The results are the first to highlight the negative physical health

对双重文化和混血儿身份否认的心理生理压力反应

双文化和混血人（认同两种文化或两种种族的人）经常被拒绝加入他们认同的群体，这种经历被称为身份否认。本研究使用实验设计来测试身份否认对双文化（研究 1；N = 126）和混血（研究 2；N = 119) 个人。结果表明，与身份无关的否认相比，被否认美国身份的双文化参与者和被否认白人身份的少数民族/白人混血个体报告的压力更大，更有可能口头重申他们的身份。与身份无关否认条件下的参与者相比，双文化参与者还表现出较慢的皮质醇恢复。结果第一个突出负面身体健康
