The Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure: A New Scale for Use with Diverse Groups.

Phinney, Jean S.

Journal of Adolescent Research, v7 n2 p156-76 Apr 1992

Presents a questionnaire measure of ethnic identity based on elements of ethnic identity that are common across groups, so that it can be used across all groups. Reliability, assessed by Cronbach's alpha, was .81 for the high school sample (n=417), and .90 for the college sample (n=136). Whites scored lower in ethnic identity than members of the three minority groups. (JPS)
