对多种族个体的研究往往是跨领域的，掩盖了多种族自我分类随时间变化的本质。种族自我认同的途径是从具有全国代表性的14-18岁青少年样本中发展出来的，5年后再次测量。随着时间的推移，相当大比例的多种族青少年改变了种族自我认同。曾经报告自己是多种族的年轻人，改变自我认同的可能性是报告一致的多种族身份的4倍。在这段时间里，更多的多种族青少年要么增加一个种族类别(多样化)，要么减少一个种族类别(巩固)，而不是保持一致的多种族自我分类。探索性多项式分析表明，这些途径在选定的心理和社会特征上几乎没有区别。结果为定性研究提供了定量支持，表明了种族自我归类的流动性。
Research on multiracial individuals is often cross-sectional, obscuring the fluid nature of multiracial self-categorization across time. Pathways of racial self-identification are developed from a nationally representative sample of adolescents aged 14-18, measured again 5 years later. A significant proportion of multiracial adolescents change racial self-identification across time. Youth who ever report being multiracial are 4 times as likely to switch self-identification as to report consistent multiracial identities. Across this time, more multiracial adolescents either add a racial category (diversify) or subtract one (consolidate) than maintain consistent multiracial self-categorization. Exploratory multinomial analyses show few differences between these pathways on select psychological and social characteristics. Results lend quantitative support to qualitative studies indicating the fluidity of racial self-categorization.
