Explanation:

Janet Helms developed the theory of the development of racial identity, this refers to the belief systems that develop in response to the categorization of the racial group to which the main society gives meaning. In societies like that of the United States, where membership in a racial group is an important determinant of social status, it is assumed that the development of a racial identity will occur, to some degree, to everyone. For white people, the process requires that they realize their “whiteness,” that they accept this aspect of their own identity as socially meaningful and personally important, and finally that they incorporate a positive realistic view of whiteness that is not base on alleged superiority. Helms (1995) points out that the concept of race in psychology has been used with the following meanings: a) sociopolitical and economic differential socialization; b) biogenetic psychological characteristics extracted from observable signs commonly associated with racial nature, and c) differential cultural socialization (beliefs and values). The theory of racial identity includes both the biological concept, that is, the frequency of genes in a population, and its cultural construction.
