Abstract

ABSTRACT Past work on Black and Latinx individuals demonstrates that observers can accurately predict an individual’s racial identity strength based on the observers’ perceptions of the individual’s phenotypic prototypicality (how much someone looks like a prototypical member of their racial group). However, the growing Biracial demographic varies considerably in racial identification, suggesting a monoracial approach to infer racial identity strength may not translate to Biracial individuals. In three studies, Biracial Black/White participants were photographed and completed a racial identity strength scale. Subsequently, we had raters judge the Biracial targets’ phenotypic prototypicality and perceived levels racial identity strength. Overall, perceivers could not accurately predict Biracial individuals’ racial identity strength via their phenotypic prototypicality.

检测混血儿身份强度:感知表型是不准确的

过去对黑人和拉丁裔个体的研究表明，观察者可以根据对个体的表型原型性(一个人看起来有多像他们种族群体的原型成员)的感知，准确地预测一个人的种族认同强度。然而，不断增长的混血儿人口在种族认同方面存在很大差异，这表明用单一的方法推断种族认同强度可能不适用于混血儿个体。在三项研究中，黑白混血儿参与者被拍照并完成一份种族认同强度量表。随后，我们让评分者判断混血目标的表型原型性和种族认同强度的感知水平。总体而言，感知者无法通过表型原型性准确预测混血儿个体的种族认同强度。

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
