Description
Mixed-heritage teens carry more than one identity, and Chelsea Williams and co-authors asked which sense of belonging guards their mental health, in work from twenty twenty-six. Near six hundred teens of Latine-White and Black-White heritage rated belonging to each side and to their mixed identity. Mood, anxiety, and dark thoughts were tracked, split by race and gender.
Belonging to the minority side linked to fewer dark thoughts and less low mood in all groups. Mixed-identity belonging eased low mood broadly, and eased anxiety in one group. Belonging to the White side showed no links. The authors urge support that honors each teen's full heritage, not a forced pick.
