在一个种族多样化的年轻人样本中（n = 223, 26%拉丁美洲人，14%亚裔美国人，32%菲律宾裔美国人，28%欧洲裔美国人），发现种族认同的平均水平在不同的关系背景下差异显著。无论种族如何，年轻人报告的种族探索和与父母的种族归属程度最高，其次是同种族的同龄人，然后是不同种族的同龄人。与民族归属相比，民族探索的关系背景之间的差异明显更大。种族认同的较大差异，特别是同种族和不同种族背景之间的差异，与较低的自尊、积极影响、关系能力和较高的消极影响有关，尽管这些负担只在欧洲裔美国青年中发现。讨论强调了将民族认同作为一种动态结构进行研究的重要性，这种结构可以随着关系的变化而变化，并为未来的研究提出了方向。
Within an ethnically diverse sample of young adults (n = 223, 26% Latin American, 14% Asian American, 32% Filipino American, 28% European American), average levels of ethnic identity was found to vary significantly across different relational contexts. Regardless of ethnicity, young adults reported highest levels of ethnic exploration and ethnic belonging with parents, followed by same-ethnic peers, then different-ethnic peers. Significantly greater variation between relational contexts generally was found for ethnic exploration compared to ethnic belonging. Greater variation in ethnic identity, particularly between same-ethnic and different-ethnic contexts was associated with lower self-esteem, positive affect, relational competence, and higher negative affect, though these liabilities were only found for European American youth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of examining ethnic identity as a dynamic construct that can vary as a function of relationships, and proposes directions for future research.
