Ethnic Identity

چکیده
Consistent with Erikson’s and Tajfel’s theoretical perspectives, the Ethnic Identity Scale (EIS) assesses three domains of ethnic identity formation: exploration, resolution, and affirmation. The current chapter explores the findings of three studies in which high school and university students (N = 1,171) completed measures of familial ethnic socialization and self-esteem in addition to completing the EIS. Results provide preliminary evidence for the validity and reliability of the EIS and indicate that the measure is appropriate for use with adolescents ranging in age and ethnic background. Furthermore, when taken together, findings from the three studies highlight developmental trends and contextual influences that can be examined using the EIS.
