Psychometric Analysis of the Racial Identity Attitude Scale -- Long Form.

Peer reviewed

Tokar, David M.; Fischer, Ann R. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1998

This research evaluated the psychometric adequacy of the Racial Identity Attitude Scale (RAIS). Participants (N=293) included college students and community residents ages 17 to 82 years. Results do not support the psychometric adequacy of the latest version of RAIS. Psychometric issues are discussed; caution is recommended in using RAIS. (EMK)

A Test of Stability and Construct Validity of the Black Racial Identity Attitude Scale, Form B (RIAS-B) and the White Racial Identity Attitude Scale (WRIAS).

Peer reviewed

Lemon, Rochelle L.; Waehler, Charles A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1996

Found that the test-retest reliabilities of two measures--(RIAS-B) and (WRIAS)--imply that racial identity may reflect more state characteristics (conditions or events) than trait characteristics (stable). Measures of self-derogation, self-esteem, and ethnic identity were also correlated with the racial identity scales. (RJM)
