Many national policies and laws, such as reducing health disparities and civil rights enforcement, rely on the measurement of the population by race and ethnicity. There are, however, growing doubts about the reliability and accuracy of race and ethnic data in American social statistics. The proposed research will address some of the major underlying issues that influence the conceptualization and measurement of race and ethnic identities in the United States with data from the 2000 Census, the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) and the Beyond High School Survey in Washington State. The specific aims of this research project are to: (1) develop a typology of single and multiracial identities that can be systematically compared across different survey questions, administrative records, and perceived race/ethnic classifications, (2) explore variations in the patterns of response to different survey questions on race and ethnic identities, including an analysis of which persons change their identities in response to different questions, (3) estimate a baseline model of individual race/ethnic identity(ies) as a function of parental ancestry and appearance (based on photographs) and to investigate how the parameters of this model vary by family background characteristics (birthplace, home language, socioeconomic status), (4) test hypotheses of how context, reciprocity, and peer identities influence individual ethnic choices, (5) estimate patterns of consistency and change in race and ethnic identities over historical time and the early life course, (6) estimate the impact of different definitions of race/ethnic boundaries (e.g., single vs. multiple identities) on race and ethnic disparities in educational aspirations and attainment, and (7) develop a theoretical schema of the underlying principles that influence race and ethnic identities in early twenty-first century United States.

许多国家政策和法律，例如减少健康差距和实施公民权利，都依赖于 按种族和族裔衡量人口。然而，人们越来越怀疑 美国社会统计中种族和民族数据的可靠性和准确性。拟议的研究将 解决影响种族概念化和衡量的一些主要根本问题 使用 2000 年人口普查、全国纵向调查的数据来了解美国的种族认同 华盛顿州青少年健康（添加健康）和超越高中调查。具体的 该研究项目的目标是：（1）开发一种单一和多种族身份的类型学，可以 系统地比较不同的调查问题、管理记录和感知 种族/民族分类，(2) 探索对不同调查问题的反应模式的变化 种族和族裔身份，包括分析哪些人会改变自己的身份以应对 不同的问题，（3）估计个体种族/民族身份的基线模型作为函数 父母的血统和外表（基于照片）并调查这些参数如何 模型因家庭背景特征（出生地、家庭语言、社会经济地位）而异，（4）测试 关于背景、互惠和同伴身份如何影响个人种族选择的假设，(5) 估计 种族和民族身份在历史时期和早期生命历程中的一致性和变化模式， (6) 估计种族/民族边界的不同定义（例如，单一身份与多重身份）对 种族和族裔在教育愿望和成就方面的差异，以及（7）制定理论架构 二十世纪初期影响种族和民族身份的基本原则 国家。
