目的探讨美国认同问卷的心理测量特征（Phinney & Devich-Navarro, Journal of Research on Adolescence, 1997,7,3）。美国人的身份认同一直与不同种族人口的社会和个人利益有关，但有限的研究评估了美国人的身份认同措施是否在不同群体的成员中发挥同等作用。因此，本研究在黑人、拉丁裔和白人青少年中检验了美国认同问卷的测量等效性和结构效度。方法采用横断面设计，青少年在正常上学时间完成自我管理的调查。目前的研究包括在美国出生的青少年（N= 1326； M年龄= 16.16岁；SD= 1.12； 53%为女性），他们自我认定为黑人（N= 315）、拉丁裔（N= 345）或白人（N= 666）。结果以族群隶属度为分组变量，进行多组验证性因子分析。研究结果表明，美国身份问卷在三组之间表现出结构（等效因素结构）和度量（等效因素负荷）不变性。允许在拉丁裔青年中自由估计一个项目的截距后，支持部分标量不变性。在构念效度方面，美国认同与自尊和个人认同呈正相关，与抑郁症状呈负相关。结论：研究结果表明，美国身份问卷可用于评估黑人、拉丁裔和白人青少年的美国身份与其他结构之间的联系。三组间的平均水平比较也是可能的。建构效度结果显示，美国认同与青少年心理社会适应呈正相关。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2024 APA，版权所有）
ObjectivesThe current study examined the psychometric properties of the American Identity Questionnaire (Phinney & Devich-Navarro, Journal of Research on Adolescence, 1997, 7, 3). American identity has been associated with societal and personal benefits for ethno-racially diverse populations, but limited research has assessed whether American identity measures function equivalently across members of different groups. Thus, the current study examined the measurement equivalence and construct validity of the American Identity Questionnaire among Black, Latino, and White adolescents.MethodUsing a cross-sectional design, adolescents completed self-administered surveys during regular school time. The current study included US-born adolescents (N= 1,326; M age= 16.16 years; SD= 1.12; 53% female) who self-identified as either Black (n= 315), Latino (n= 345), or White (n= 666).ResultsMultigroup confirmatory factor analysis was carried out using ethnic–racial group membership as the grouping variable. Findings suggested that the American Identity Questionnaire demonstrated configural (equivalent factor structures) and metric (equivalent factor loadings) invariance across the three groups. Partial scalar invariance was supported after allowing one item intercept to be freely estimated among Latino youth. Regarding construct validity, American identity was positively associated with self-esteem and personal identity, and negatively associated with depressive symptoms across the three groups.ConclusionsFindings suggest that the American Identity Questionnaire can be used to assess associations between American identity and other constructs with samples of Black, Latino, and White adolescents. Mean-level comparisons across the three groups may also be possible. Construct validity results indicated that American identity was positively associated with adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
