采用种族认同多维模型对173名非裔美国大学生和72名非裔美国高中生的种族认同与自尊的关系进行了研究。采用黑人身份多维量表的中心性和关注量表评估种族身份,采用罗森伯格自尊量表评估PSE。测试了四个预测:(a)种族中心性与PSE呈弱正相关;(b)私人关怀与环境污染有适度的关系;(c)公众关注与环境污染无关;(d)种族中心性调节私人关怀与PSE之间的关系。多元回归分析发现,在两个样本中,种族中心性和公众种族关注与PSE无关。在大学生样本中,个人关注与PSE呈显著正相关。在两个样本中,种族中心性调节了私人关注与PSE之间的关系,因此,在中心性水平高的样本中,这种关系显著,而在中心性水平低的样本中,这种关系不显著。
The Multidimensional Model of Racial Identity was used to examine the relationship between racial identity and personal self-esteem (PSE) in a sample of African American college students (n = 173) and a sample of African American high school students (n = 72). Racial identity was assessed using the Centrality and Regard scales of the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity, whereas the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to assess PSE. Four predictions were tested: (a) racial centrality is weakly but positively related to PSE; (b) private regard is moderately related to PSE; (c) public regard is unrelated to PSE; and (d) racial centrality moderates the relationship between private regard and PSE. Multiple regression analysis found that racial centrality and public racial regard were unrelated to PSE in both samples. Private regard was positively related to PSE in the college sample. Racial centrality moderated the relationship between private regard and PSE in both samples, such that the relationship was significant for those with high levels of centrality but nonsignificant for those with low levels.
