“…It is possible that the risk of divorce is higher among varying-race intraracial couples than among static-race intraracial couples. For example, positive regard, salience, and centrality of racial identity are associated with increased well-being (Chen & Yao, 2010; DuBois, Burk-Braxton, Swenson, Tevendale, & Hardesty, 2002; Moradi & Hasan, 2004; Sellers, Caldwell, Schmeelk-Cone, & Zimmerman, 2003; Sellers, Copeland-Linder, Martin, & Lewis, 2006; Wakefield & Hudley, 2005; 2007). This means that having a strong, accepted, and unwavering racial identity promotes well-being because such self-assurance can provide a buffer against discrimination (Oyserman, Gant, & Ager, 1995).…”

Studies assessing differences between intraracial and interracial marriages typically use race data from one time point. Yet because racial identification can vary across time, context, or perspective, whether a relationship is defined as intraracial or interracial can also differ. We use a sample of 2,845 respondents from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997, whose marriages are intraracial (based on 2002 data) to examine whether marital stability differs for those whose racial identification varied across waves and whether this effect is moderated by gender. Approximately 6% of respondents in intraracial relationships had inconsistent racial identities. We also find evidence that the association between racial variation and marital stability differs by gender. Women whose race varied are more likely to divorce than any other group, including static-race couples and men whose race varied. More attention should be given to intraracial heterogeneity, especially as groups that are more likely to have varying racial identities grow in number.

“…Several scales have been adopted for assessing QOL, such as comprehensive QOL scales, health-related or multicultural QOL indexes or the WHOQOL scales (e.g. Chen and Yao 2010;Eusébio and Carneiro 2011;Skevington et al 2004). So, similarly to what happens in the concept of QOL, there is still no consensual group of indicators to assess QOL.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the relations between identity statuses and the perceived quality of life in adolescents aged 16–19. The research methods include the Ego Identity Process Questionnaire to assess identity status of a sample covering 233 participants (148 girls, 85 boys), and the Youth Quality of Life Instrument to assess their subjective quality of life. Diffused identity is linked to the lowest level of subjective quality of life, whereas foreclosed identity to the highest. Five patterns of the connection between identity dimensions and perceived quality of life have been distinguished through cluster analysis. The results indicate that different patterns of identity processes in adolescents coexist with different levels of quality of life.
