阿拉伯裔美国人在美国是一个多样化的、相当大的少数民族。然而，有限的研究已经检查了阿拉伯裔美国人的种族认同的内容，以及这种种族认同是否因人口因素而异。在本研究中，我们制定了阿拉伯裔美国人的种族认同和文化习俗的措施，并评估性别，宗教信仰（穆斯林，基督教）和年龄在这些变量的差异。阿拉伯裔美国成年人从亚马逊机械土耳其人（N = 391）在线招募完成了适应黑人身份的多维库存和文化实践的措施，这是为这项研究创建的基础上预先存在的规模。加载到身份（民族中心，私人方面，公共方面）的维度和分量表的项目显示跨性别和宗教教养的不变性。在研究族群认同的群体差异时，我们发现，阿拉伯裔美国人的态度因性别而异，例如阿拉伯裔美国妇女报告的私人方面比男性高，而公众方面则低。反过来，在穆斯林家庭长大的参与者报告了比在基督教家庭长大的参与者更高的种族中心性和文化习俗，这可能与穆斯林在美国作为宗教少数群体的地位有关。最后，年轻人的中心性和私人方面低于老年人，这表明种族认同可能发展到成年，或者年轻人的种族认同可能受到9/11后美国社会成长的影响。两者合计，研究结果说明了阿拉伯裔美国人的种族认同的异质性，需要进一步的研究，以了解阿拉伯裔美国人的种族认同的个体差异。
Arab Americans constitute a diverse, sizeable ethnic minority in the United States. However, limited research has examined the content of Arab American ethnic identity and whether this ethnic identity differs by demographic factors. In the present study, we developed measures of Arab American ethnic identity and cultural practice, and assessed differences in those variables by gender, religious affiliation (Muslim, Christian), and age. Arab American adults recruited online from Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 391) completed an adaptation of the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity and a measure of cultural practice that was created for this study based on pre-existing scales. Items loaded onto dimensions of identity (ethnic centrality, private regard, public regard), and subscales showed invariance across gender and religious upbringing. When examining group differences in ethnic identity, we found that attitudes regarding being Arab American varied by gender, such that Arab American women reported higher private regard and lower public regard than men. In turn, participants raised in Muslim households reported higher ethnic centrality and cultural practice than those raised in Christian households, potentially related to Muslims’ status as a religious minority in the United Status. Finally, young adults were lower in centrality and private regard than older adults, suggesting either that ethnic identity may develop into adulthood or that young adults’ ethnic identity may be influenced by growing up in American society post-9/11. Taken together, findings illustrate the heterogeneity in the ethnic identity of Arab Americans; further research is needed to understand individual differences in Arab Americans’ ethnic identity.
