Developing Identity Formation and Self-Concept in Preschool-Aged Biracial Children.
Morrison, Jhonetta Wade
Early Child Development and Care, v111 p141-52 Jul 1995
Mothers of biracial preschool children were interviewed regarding self-concept, identity formation, developmental issues, and variables identified as part of child-rearing practices to promote the dual heritages of their children. Found that these mothers form two perspectives in promoting identity development. Self-concept was viewed as a paramount issue for development. (Author/AA)
