Abstract

This study assessed the psychometric properties of the People of Color Racial Identity Attitude Scale (POCRIAS; Helms, 1995). The factor structure of the POCRIAS was investigated and the relationships between the POCRIAS subscales and measures of ethnicity-related stress were examined. Data for 311 participants from various racial and ethnic groups indicated that the POCRIAS could benefit from further revisions. Results also indicated that the POCRIAS was differentially related to some ethnicity-related stress constructs and a social desirability measure. Implications for future research and recommendations for revisions are discussed.
