民族认同量表(EIS)是用来区分种族认同的过程和内容的。然而，肯定子量表完全由负面措辞组成，衡量的是对一个民族-种族群体的负面情绪，而不是广泛概念化的积极情绪。为了解决这一差距，本研究检验了修订后的EIS的心理测量学效度，其中包括积极和消极的措辞，以确定肯定是以一维结构、二维结构还是两者的组合来最好地表示。调查对象为280名大学生(女生占75.5%，年龄20.95岁，SD=1.98岁)。最大的种族群体由黑人或非洲裔美国人(68.2%)组成，其次是亚裔/亚裔美国人(12.1%)，西班牙裔/拉丁裔(9.6%)，以及其他族裔-种族群体(10%)。验证性因素分析提供了单维度和多维度的证据。事实上，尽管积极措辞和消极措辞的“肯定”项被加载到代表肯定的一般因素上，但消极的ERI影响特定因素仍然捕捉到大量的差异，表明存在多维度。此外，研究结果表明，除了一般的ERI肯定因素外，负性ERI对心理社会功能也有预测作用。目前的研究扩大了我们对族裔-种族认同的多维性的理解，强调有必要审查我们如何至少衡量ERI的影响，以及我们可能如何在更广泛的ERI文献中对其进行概念化。
The Ethnic Identity Scale (EIS) was developed to distinguish between process and content components of ethnic-racial identity. However, the affirmation subscale is composed entirely of negatively worded items, measuring negative feelings about one’s ethnic-racial group, rather than positive feelings as widely conceptualized. Addressing this gap, the current study examined the psychometric validity of a revised EIS with positively and negatively worded items to determine whether affirmation is best represented as a unidimensional construct, a bidimensional construct, or a combination of the two. The sample consisted of 280 college students (75.5% female; Mage = 20.95 years; SD = 1.98 years). The largest ethnic-racial group consisted of Black or African Americans (68.2%), followed by Asian/Asian Americans (12.1%), Hispanic/Latinos (9.6%), and other ethnic-racial groups (10%). Confirmatory Factor Analysis provided evidence for both unidimensionality and multidimensionality. Indeed, although positively worded and negatively worded items of “affirmation” loaded onto a general factor representing affirmation, there was still a significant amount of variance captured by the negative ERI affect specific factor, indicating the presence of multidimensionality. Additionally, results indicated that negative ERI affect, over and above the general ERI affirmation factor, predicted psychosocial functioning. The current study expands our understanding of the multidimensionality of ethnic-racial identity, highlighting the need for examination of how we measure ERI affect at the very least, and possibly how we conceptualize it within the broader ERI literature.
