Description:
|
This project aims to explore how multiracial individuals effectively interact with diverse groups by investigating their capacity to navigate and negotiate their identities within different cultural contexts. Research suggests that individuals adept at managing multiple cultural influences often exhibit enhanced cognitive abilities. The study intends to compare individuals who proficiently navigate these cultural influences with those who struggle, seeking to understand how this ability relates to mental health outcomes. |
