Psychological Wellbeing among Black-Biracial College Students

Biracial and multiracial families are one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Understanding identity development among this population is critical to understanding well-being and adjustment. Examining parents' individual and collective influence on this process is important, as they are the primary agents of socialization. This retrospective study examines linkages between parental factors (mother and father) and the identity of Biracial (White; Black) young adults. Additionally, this investigation explores the association between biracial identity and wellbeing. The sample will consist of self-identified Black-Biracial college students (N = 150). A web-based survey will be used to recruit and administer surveys to college students. Participants will complete on anonymous web-based survey lasting approximately 20 minutes.
