The Racialization of Multiracials in the United States: A Systematic Review of Empirical Measures

Abstract

This systematic review sought to identify, describe, and evaluate extant measures of multiracial racialization. Specifically, the goals of this systematic review were: 1) To identify measures of racialization that have been developed, validated, or tested for use in multiracial samples; 2) To describe the sample characteristics, factor structure and psychometric properties of these measures; 3) To evaluate which multiracial racialization processes were captured or absent in these measures; and 4) To identify any relevant emerging trends across studies, including how multiracial group membership was defined and common correlates across measures.
