Abstract
This study investigates the correlation between biracial and multiracial mental health, emotions, and identity development and the environments they mature. A growing biracial and multiethnic population faces unique challenges, and understanding their development is crucial for tailored support. A survey with 94 participants was conducted on factors such as cultural exposure, discrimination experiences, and family dynamics. Results reveal distinct challenges faced by multiracial individuals, impacting their mental health. Identity confusion is more prevalent among multiracial participants, indicating the complexity of navigating multiple cultural backgrounds. Household experiences vary, with unequal identification linked to disparities in parental cultural exposure. Challenges related to ethnic identity are higher for multiracial individuals, emphasizing the need for resilience and coping mechanisms. Mental health challenges correlate negatively, with Pearson coefficients of -0.45 and -0.23, with family support and cultural exposure, respectively, suggesting the importance of these factors in mitigating difficulties. The study contributes new insights, urging action to enhance mental health programs for individuals from diverse backgrounds.
