Through a comparative analysis of African American/white and West Indian/white interracial couples, this study will refine our understanding of identity construction as a process that is conditioned by interactions with social institutions and social networks, including peers, co-workers, and family members, as well as the ethnic background and resources of each partner. In-depth interviews will be conducted to understand how conditions within and surrounding interracial families affect the daily behavior and social affiliations of the parents and their mixed-race offspring.

通过对非裔美国人/白色和西印度群岛/白色跨种族夫妇的比较分析，本研究将完善我们对身份建构的理解，将其视为一个受社会机构和社交网络（包括同龄人、同事和家庭成员）以及每个合作伙伴的种族背景和资源的相互作用制约的过程。 深入访谈将进行，以了解内部和周围的条件如何影响跨种族家庭的日常行为和社会关系的父母和他们的混血后代。
