A Preliminary Examination of Ethnic Identification among Whites.

Alba, Richard D.; Chamlin, Mitchell B.

American Sociological Review, v48 n2 p240-47 Apr 1983

Log linear analysis of data from the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey indicates a rising number of Whites who have mixed ethnic ancestry but identify with a single ethnic group. This is particularly true among those who have attended college, live in large areas, and belong to younger age groups. (Author/MJL)
