Abstract
This paper focuses on one of the major influential factors in a Biracial child's identity development process - parental communication. The Parental Racial Socialization Communication Model (PRSC) is proposed. Parents racial views influence two dimensions that construct a parent's communication style. Those two dimensions are the approach technique and valence of racial socialization. Four parental racial socialization styles are created and are examined as predictors of the child's ethnic identity label and their racial-esteem. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
