| Descripción: | The present article describes the psychometric properties of an instrument for the assessment of ethnic identity and its components among Costa Rican adolescents: the “Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure” (MEIM) developed by Jean Phinney (1992). Participants were 287 AfroCosta Rican, 768 White/Mestizo, and 120 of mixed ancestry adolescents. Confirmatory factor analyses show that the measure assess two different but highly related components of ethnic identity across groups: ethnic affirmation/identification, and ethnic exploration. Reliability analysis yielded satisfactory Cronbach’s alphas across groups. The scale is moderately related to measures of ingroup orientation and intergroup behaviors as such as acculturation attitudes, and is positively related to indices of self-esteem and ego-identity. |
