Inhaltsangabe

The concept of race is a complex social construct, and its influence is particularly nuanced for individuals with one white parent. Unlike those who identify as monoracial, this group navigates a unique terrain where racial identity is not preordained by appearance but rather a product of personal experience, societal perception, and familial dynamics. This study explores the journeys of individuals with one white parent in their quest to understand and define their racial identity. Literature Review Research on multiracial identity development highlights several key factors that influence self-perception. One prominent theory suggests three main identity models: singular (identifying with one race), integrated (combining both races), and marginal (feeling disconnected from both races) [1]. Family dynamics play a crucial role, with parental validation of both heritages fostering a more positive and integrated racial identity [2]. Social context also exerts a strong influence, as societal perceptions and dominant racial narratives can shape how individuals view themselves and how they are viewed by others [3].
