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

Measures of self-derogation, self-esteem, and ethnic identity were also correlated with the racial identity scales. (RJM)
