Abstract

The current paper presents a lifespan model of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) from infancy into adulthood. We conceptualize that ethnic-racial priming during infancy prompts nascent awareness of ethnicity/race that becomes differentiated across childhood and through adulthood. We propose that the components of ERI that have been tested to date fall within five dimensions across the lifespan: ethnic-racial awareness, affiliation, attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge. Further, ERI evolves in a bidirectional process informed by an interplay of influencers (i.e., contextual, individual, and developmental factors, as well as meaning-making and identity-relevant experiences). It is our goal that the lifespan model of ERI will provide important future direction to theory, research, and interventions.

  • In their conceptual paper arguing for the merging of these identity constructs, both their review of existing research and recommendations for the future focused exclusively on BIPOC youth, as none of the aforementioned ERI models were developed with white youth in mind.

    “Importantly, in their conceptual paper arguing for the merging of these identity constructs, both their review of existing research and recommendations for the future focused exclusively on BIPOC youth (Williams et al., 2020), as none of the aforementioned ERI models were developed with white youth in mind.”

  • This racist structure shapes white youth's daily experiences, with particular relevance for ethnic and racial identity development.

    “This racist structure shapes their daily experiences, with particular relevance for ethnic and racial identity development (Rivas‐Drake & Umaña‐Taylor, 2019; Williams et al., 2020).”

    From Studying Ethnic-Racial Identity among White Youth: White Supremacy as a Developmental Context (2022) · cites this paper as Williams et al., 2020

    The Interplay of Influencers section (page not supplied) says that social and local contexts shape identity-relevant experiences, and uses a White adolescent to illustrate how context can affect ethnic-racial identity development. It does not specifically say that a racist structure shapes White youths’ daily experiences. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
