A Validity Study of Scores on the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure Based on a Sample of Academically Talented Adolescents

Frank C. Worrell

The Pennsylvania State University

This study examined the validity of scores on the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) in a group of 275 academically talented adolescents attending a summer enrichment program. The two-factor solution reported by Phinney was essentially replicated with this sample using exploratory factor analysis. Factor I (Ethnic Identity) scores had a reliability coefficient of .89, and Factor II (Other Group Orientation) scores had a reliability coefficient of .76. Although the replication of Phinney’s results provides supportive evidence for the factor structure of the MEIM, the instrument would benefit from work on its psychometric soundness, particularly as ethnic identity is hypothesized to be related to many important variables in adolescence.
