“…As will be discussed later, some of the wording was also changed to make it comprehensible to Jamaican children. The Cronbach's alpha for this scale has been reported as .67 (Belgrave, 1993b).…”

“…Racial identity was measured by using the Children's Racial (Black) Identity Scale (Belgrave, 1993b), which is made up of nine items. The racial identity scale taps into one's affiliation to one's racial group and the evaluation of oneself and members of the racial group.…”

“…The survey contained three measures and a demographic information survey that assessed the attitudes and behaviors surrounding identity, self-esteem, and communal orientation. Racial identity was measured by using the Children's Racial (Black) Identity Scale (Belgrave, 1993b), which is made up of nine items. The racial identity scale taps into one's affiliation to one's racial group and the evaluation of oneself and members of the racial group.…”

“…The scale measures affective (e.g., I feel good about being a Black Jamaican), cognitive (e.g., Black Jamaicans have many good qualities), behavioral (e.g., Black Jamaicans should learn to live and act more like White Americans), and physical aspects (e.g., Jamaicans with lighter skin and straight hair are more attractive than Jamaicans with darker skin and hair not so straight) of racial identity. Using a 3-point scale, the participants were asked to respond by circling the items agree, disagree, or not sure (Belgrave, 1993b). This instrument was revised to fit the Jamaican culture and dialect.…”

“…There are six factors or subscales: behavioral (I behave badly at home), intellectual and school status (I am good in my school work), physical appearance and attributes (I have a pleasant face), anxiety (I get worried when my teacher calls on me), popularity (I am among the last to be chosen for games), and happiness and satisfaction (I am cheerful) (Piers, 1984). The PHCSCS has been used reliably in the past to measure the self-esteem of people of color (Belgrave, 1993b). The Cronbach's alpha for the measure has been reported as .90 (Piers, 1984).…”

Scale, and a background questionnaire were administered to participants. It was hypothesized that Black identity would be positively correlated with Africentric values and self-esteem. It was also predicted that the correlation between Black identity and Africentric values would be stronger than the correlation between Black identity and self-esteem. Results indicated that Africentric values, Black identity, and self-esteem were correlated for female adolescents but not for male adolescents. Unexpectedly, self-esteem accounted for more variability in Black female identity, thus serving as a better predictor than Africentric values. The results suggest the need to explore gender differences in racial identity development, in addition to cross-cultural issues.
