OBJECTIVES Little is understood about how Multiracial individuals are socialized around race and ethnicity, and how these socialization messages are related to ethnic-racial identity development. METHOD This study utilizes a person-centered framework with a diverse sample of 286 Multiracial college students to examine the patterns of ethnic-racial socialization messages individuals received from their primary caregiver. RESULTS A latent profile analysis of caregivers' socialization messages produced a four-profile solution: Typical Messages (socialization messages with average frequency), Minority Messages (frequent cultural socialization and preparation for bias geared toward minority group membership), High Mistrust (frequent promotion of mistrust messages), and Low Frequency (all socialization messages at low frequency). Overall, profile differences were evident with respect to ethnic-racial identity endorsement, where participants in the Minority Messages profile endorsed the greatest levels of ethnic/racial exploration. In addition, individuals in the Minority Messages profile also endorsed higher levels of ethnic/racial identity resolution and affirmation than the High Mistrust and Low Frequency Messages profile. Individuals in the High Mistrust profile endorsed greater levels of identity conflict than the Minority Messages profile. CONCLUSIONS The current study provides evidence that the pattern of socialization messages Multiracial participants received growing up impact their ethnic-racial identity endorsement. Results highlight the need for continued quantitative and person-centered work when studying socialization and identity in Multiracials. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

以人为中心的多种族大学生种族-种族社会化模式及其身份相关性分析。

目的很少有人了解如何围绕种族和种族对多种族个体进行社会化，以及这些社会化信息与种族-种族身份发展如何相关。方法本研究利用以人为中心的框架，对286名多种族大学生进行了抽样调查，研究了从主要照料者那里收到的种族-种族社会化信息的模式。结果对看护人的社会化信息的潜在特征分析产生了四个特征的解决方案：典型信息（平均频率的社会化信息），少数族裔信息（频繁的文化社会化和针对少数群体成员的偏见的准备），高度不信任（频繁推广不信任消息）和低频（所有社交消息均为低频）。全面的，种族认同认同方面的差异很明显，少数民族信息简介中的参与者认可了最大程度的种族/种族探索。此外，与“高度不信任和低频消息”配置文件相比，“少数群体消息”配置文件中的个人还认可了更高水平的种族/种族身份解析和肯定。与“少数群体消息”配置文件相比，“高度不信任”配置文件中的个人认可更高级别的身份冲突。结论当前的研究提供了证据，表明多种族参与者日益增长的社会化信息模式会影响他们的族裔认同。结果表明，在研究多种族社会化和身份认同时，需要继续进行定量和以人为本的工作。
