ESTEBAN, Moisès; NADAL, Josep Maria y VILA, Ignasi. Ethnic Identity among Indigenous and Mestizos from Intercultural University of Chiapas. Escritos de Psicología [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.3, pp.15-21. ISSN 1989-3809.
This study explored ethnic identity among 662 students (326 mestizos and 336 indigenous) from the Intercultural University of Chiapas (IUCh). Scholars suggest that ethnicity is more salient for ethnic minority adolescents than for adolescents who are members of the ethnic majority. The aims for this study were: 1) to determine the structure and validity of ethnic identity as measured by the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure in a sample of majority and minority ethnic groups from Intercultural University in Chiapas, and 2) to examine the variability of ethnic identity across ethnic groups. Specifically, it was hypothesized that the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure would show two factors, and that ethnic groups would differ on ethnic identity. The results supported the hypotheses.
