对美国日益增长的多种族人口的实证研究主要集中在种族认同的记录，心理调整的分析，以及理解混合种族认同的更广泛的政治后果。然而，对多种族身份发展的理论建设的努力，在很大程度上已经脱离了经验数据，陷入学科辩论，并通过对种族和种族群体成员的历史特定的假设约束。本研究提供了一个关键的多种族身份发展理论的概述，研究理论和研究之间的联系，探讨了多种族身份理论建设的挑战，并提出了未来的方向在理论化的种族身份发展的混血人口的考虑。
Empirical research on the growing multiracial population in the United States has focused largely on the documentation of racial identification, analysis of psychological adjustment, and understanding the broader political consequences of mixed-race identification. Efforts toward theory construction on multiracial identity development, however, have been largely disconnected from empirical data, mired in disciplinary debates, and bound by historically specific assumptions about race and racial group membership. This study provides a critical overview of multiracial identity development theories, examines the links between theory and research, explores the challenges to multiracial identity theory construction, and proposes considerations for future directions in theorizing racial identity development among the mixed-race population.
