Principal components and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were used to explore and confirm the factor structure of the MEIM items. Two factors were identified: (a) identification and (b) exploration. Identification was represented by items that reflect a sense of belonging and pride in an individual\u2019s ethnic group. Exploration was represented by items that characterize a search for ethnic group identity and participation in ethnic practices. Reliabilities were adequate for the two subscales (= .84, identification; = .76, exploration). Also, the results indicated that most individuals from monoracial minority groups and multiracial subgroups scored similarly on overall ethnic identity.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/jea.sagepub.com\/cgi\/reprint\/20\/4\/365\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethnic Identity among Monoracial and Multiracial Early Adolescents The Journal of Early Adolescence Vol. 20, No. 4 (2000) pages 365-387 DOI: 10.1177\/0272431600020004001 Michael S.
