White Selves: Conceptualizing and Measuring a Dominant-Group Identity.

White selves: conceptualizing and measuring a dominant-group identity.

This article addresses the nature and measurement of White racial identity. White identification is conceptualized as an automatic association between the self and the White ingroup; this association is fostered through social exposure to non-Whites and serves to link self- and ingroup evaluations. Four studies validated a measure of White identification against criteria derived from this model...

Conceptualizing and Measuring Collaboration

This article conceptualizes and measures collaboration. An empirically validated theory of collaboration, one that can inform both theory and practice, demands a systematic approach to understanding the meaning and measurement of collaboration. We present findings from a study that develops and tests the construct validity of a multidimensional model of collaboration. Data collected using a mai...

American Indian (AIs) and First Nations Canadian participants (N = 199) completed the NIS at powwows in the Upper Midwest. The majority of respondents were Ojibwe, but other tribal groups were represented. A principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation reveal...

If proponents of the former position are correct, then a complete explanation of physics can be achieved by studying the most basic particles in isolation. A similar controversy has long d...
