Psychometric Methodologies and Testing International Student and Expatriate Challenges Racial and Ethnic Identity Research

Abstract

A multidimensional instrument, the American-International Relations Scale, purports to measure the acculturation of international students, scholars, and academicians to the white-dominant society. Data from 606 respondents, making a return rate of 67%, were collected. Factor analysis of completed 34-item questionnaires (N - 481), using varimax rotation, yielded three interpretable factors, tentatively labeled (a) Perceived Prejudice, (b) Acculturation, and (c) Language Usage. Factor loadings of items ranged between .33 and .89 on one of the respective factors, with no item loading saliently on two or more factors. Full scale and subscale internal-consistency reliabilities (alphas) were .89, .88, .79, and .82, respectively.
