本文总结了北美有色人种的种族认同结构与个人幸福感之间关系的研究。来自184项随机效应模型分析的研究数据得出综合效应量r = 0.17，表明2种结构之间存在适度关系。这种关系在青少年和年轻人中比在40岁以上的成年人中更强。在参与者的种族、性别或社会经济地位之间没有观察到差异，这一发现支持了有色人种种族认同的普遍相关性。将种族认同与自尊和积极幸福感相关联的研究产生的平均效应大小是将种族认同与个人痛苦或心理健康症状相关联的研究的两倍。因此，族裔认同与积极福祉的关系比与受损福祉的关系更密切。总体而言，语料库的研究审查包括相关的设计;有限的奖学金已经解决了因果机制，中介因素，或心理功能的种族身份在不同的社会背景。
This article summarizes research examining the relationship between the constructs of ethnic identity and personal well-being among people of color in North America. Data from 184 studies analyzed with random effects models yielded an omnibus effect size of r = .17, suggesting a modest relationship between the 2 constructs. The relationship was somewhat stronger among adolescents and young adults than among adults over age 40. No differences were observed across participant race, gender, or socioeconomic status, which findings support the general relevance of ethnic identity across people of color. Studies correlating ethnic identity with self-esteem and positive well-being yielded average effect sizes twice as large as those from studies correlating ethnic identity with personal distress or mental health symptoms. Ethnic identity was thus more strongly related to positive well-being than to compromised well-being. Overall, the corpus of research reviewed consisted of correlational designs; limited scholarship has addressed causal mechanisms, mediating factors, or psychological functions of ethnic identity across different social contexts.
