A review of multiracial malleability: Identity, categorization, and shifting racial attitudes

To date, most social cognitive studies have focused on perceptual and typical expressions of social categories. However, it does not belong to the social category that everyone can easily identify. Over the past decade, the research boom has consistently shown that it can influence multiple identities (including your own identity and others' perception) to think in a more flexible way about social categories. Here, we reviewed the study of multiethnic identity and multiethnic individual cognition, especially as two fields, and researchers documented evidence of social identity and flexibility of social classification. Integrating anti-ethnic frameworks is a dynamic and interactive process, and we are studying multi-ethnic perceptions and goals to differentiate between different situations, revealing races within the range of time and top-down factors Provide evidence to help stereotypes and cultural changes) Specification). From a multi-ethnic individual perspective as a perception, our retrospective study has shown that the flexible identity of multi-ethnic individuals is influenced by the process of social cognition by being driven by the reduction of beliefs to the essential features of ethnic categories Indicates to give. From the perspective of multi-ethnic individuals as targets, we confirm top-down clues that affect the process of racial classification. We further discussed new research and revealed that contact of multiethnic individuals influences beliefs about the nature of the race itself (or noncategorical). We discussed the direction necessary for future work

It is also necessary to investigate the downstream impact of multiple classifications. Do perceptors create stereotypes and attitudes related to this category? If so, multiethnic classification may affect the interactions between perception and multinational peoples. To date, research to explore these possibilities has not been announced. As you can see from our data, perceptions are uncertain and hesitant, and it is slow to classify multi-ethnic individuals. In the real world, this extra time in face-to-face dialogue, hesitancy and thinking can be explained by multinational exchange partners as signs of anxiety and prejudice among groups. Fostering a single perception can quickly and accurately classify multiple races, which helps to improve the facility and not only simplifies the classification process, it also allows multi-ethnic and single individuals Reduce the effectiveness of interaction between.

Marie L. Miville pointed out the need for research to capture the rhetoric and multi-ethnic identity liquidity in a review on the development of racial / ethnic identity in 2005 and the psychological function of the confounder . Qualitative research by psychologists and colleagues like Root and Miville has begun taking topics that have not been covered by traditional identity development models so far (for example, both single and multi-ethnic).

Psychologists who are concerned about multinational and mixed-blood children believe that the traditional racial / ethnic identity development model may not be sufficient or appropriate to understand the mixed population. A single identity development model has been used for multi ethnic groups, but other theorists have proposed separate models for identity development of mixed / multi-ethnic people. WS Carlos Poston proposed the first model of these models in 1990. Combining the notion of "reference group orientation" cited in previous racial identity development model (as opposed to personal identity), Poston describes the five phases of the development of mixed-typed identity (collective selection Conflicts about), appreciation (multiple identities) and integration (overall experience, emphasis on all racial and ethnic identities)
