目的：使用符号互动理论，我们探讨了不同的身份标签，拉丁裔和亚洲DACA接收者（童年抵达的递延行动）报告强加给他们（即，赋予）以及这些身份标签背后的不同含义。我们还研究了DACA接受者为自己采用的身份标签（即，公开声明）。方法：40个半结构化的采访进行了DACA收件人谁参加2-或4年制大学在加州。结果：我们的研究结果表明，DACA收件人有不同的含义归因于身份标签。其中一些意义具有积极的内涵和外延，这可能有助于构建积极的自我观。尽管如此，我们研究中的大多数新兴主题表明，DACA接受者认为归因于身份标签具有负面的内涵和外延。为了创造更积极的无证移民代表，DACA收件人使用某些标签来描述自己.结论：考虑DACA接受者的归属和公开身份是很重要的，因为这种身份可能会反映和影响他人的无证移民的看法，并影响无证移民的自我看法.
Objectives: Using symbolic interactionism theory, we explore the different identity labels that Latinx and Asian DACA recipients (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) have reported are imposed on them (i.e., ascribed) and the different meanings behind such identity labels. We also examine the identity labels that DACA recipients adopt for themselves (i.e., avowed). Method: Forty semistructured interviews were conducted with DACA recipients who attend a 2- or 4-year college in California. Results: Our findings reveal that DACA recipients have different meanings for ascribed identity labels. Some of these meanings have positive connotations and denotations, which may help to construct a positive self-view. Nonetheless, most of the emergent themes in our study show that DACA recipients perceive that ascribed identity labels have negative connotations and denotations. To create more positive representations of undocumented immigrants, DACA recipients use certain labels to describe themselves. Conclusion: Consideration of the ascribed and avowed identities of DACA recipients is important because such identities might reflect and influence others' views of undocumented immigrants and affect undocumented immigrants' self-view.
