Title:Health and Behavior Risks of Adolescents with Mixed-Race Identity
Conclusions. Adolescents who self-identify as more than 1 race are at higher health and behavior risks. The findings are compatible with interpreting the elevated risk of mixed race as associated with stress.
Health and behavior risks? Let me guess without even clicking on that link. Study was conducted in the US?
After clicking on it, it was. I guessed US because race implication is such a huge deal in this country.
But look what I found in the conclusion, "This literature is not entirely consistent. In some studies no differences are found between mixed-race and single-race children." You should be glad it says that because it means you no longer need to bother with this conversation. I am done here since I have now lost all respect for you in this debate. Cheers
Oh you are? I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt. Hurt feeling can be very dangerous, especially over the internet.
Also, way to not read the entire conclusion. Here, let me past it. Evidently you have trouble with reading comprehension.
"Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race. Nevertheless, most mixed-race adolescents are at low risk. Most of the risk items we assessed may be interpreted as related to stress, so we may therefore choose to interpret mixed race as a source of stress. We cannot identify further the source of the stress. Subsequent research can start with the assumption of greater risk for the mixed-race-identified adolescent and try to identify the sources of stress. Only then can we recommend programmatic attention to mixed-race youths. Our comparison of mixed-race-identified adolescents on family structure, parent education, GPA, and PVT shows that on these culture-related nonrisk characteristics, mixed race youths have values in-between the constituent races, confirming a mixed-race cultural experience."
Let me post the important part:
Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race.
Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race.
Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race.
Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race.
Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race.
IIN I am fixated on wanting to make a biracial kid?
