Biracial and Biethnic Identity Development in Vietnamese/Caucasian Adults
by Vu, Tien, Psy.D., ALLIANT INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, SAN FRANCISCO BAY, 2011, 66 pages; 3467139

Abstract:

The current study explored factors that contribute to Vietnamese/White biracial identity. Three interview participants who were raised in the United States experienced less racism and discrimination than the two interviewees raised overseas. All of the participants currently have healthy and strong biracial and biethnic identity development. These findings suggest that Vietnamese/White individuals are more resilient and are more likely to have healthy outcomes than previous research has suggested.

Keywords: biracial, Vietnamese&dotbelow;, White, racism, discrimination, identity
