Abstract
Multiracial adolescents are a growing, yet understudied population in the U.S. In the current investigation, multiracial adolescents' experiences of peer discrimination revealed significant associations with their racial identities and responses to a forced-choice racial category question. Implications for intergroup contact and identity development are discussed.
