Measuring Nigrescence Attitudes in School-Aged Adolescents
Gardner-Kitt, Donna L.; Worrell, Frank C.
Journal of Adolescence, v30 n2 p187-202 Apr 2007
In this study, we examined the reliability and validity of Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS; Vandiver, B. J., Cross Jr., W. E., Fhagen-Smith, P. E., Worrell, F. C., Swim, J. K., & Caldwell, L. D. (2000). "The Cross Racial Identity Scale." Unpublished scale; Worrell, F. C., Vandiver, B. J., & Cross Jr., W. E., (2004). "The Cross Racial Identity Scale: Technical Manual" (2nd ed.). Berkeley, CA: Author) scores in 143 middle and high school students. Exploratory factor analyses provided support for the six-factor structure of the CRIS, reliability estimates for the scores were in the moderate to high range, and subscale intercorrelations were low. Multicultural Inclusive scores were significantly correlated with age with high school students reporting significantly higher multicultural attitudes than middle school students. The authors concluded that the CRIS is appropriate for use with adolescent populations.
