Two separate studies were conducted to evaluate the items devised for the scale. In the first study, an initial version of the AMCS was administered to 250 college students from racially\/ethnically diverse backgrounds. Results revealed that scores on the 43-item scale were internally consistent (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cronbach%27s_alpha\" target=\"_blank\">Cronbach\u2019s alpha<\/a> = .92) and that four factors (i.e., Multiracial Identity, Multiracial Heritage, General Adjustment, and Social Relationships) could be identified. The AMCS was then revised and administered to a group of 187 participants. Again, factor analysis yielded a four-factor solution (i.e., Psychosocial Adjustment, Self-Esteem, Multiracial Identity, and Multiracial Heritage). The internal consistency for scores on the resulting 23-item scale was good (Cronbach\u2019s alpha = .87) and 3-week test-retest reliability (n = 15) was .77.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Attitudes Toward Multiracial Children Scale Journal of Black Psychology 2001 Vol. 27, No. 1 pages 86-99 DOI: 10.1177\/0095798401027001005 Charmain F.
