LARA, Laura  y  MARTINEZ-MOLINA, Agustín. Validation of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised for use with immigrant and native adolescents in Spain. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.591-601. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14140110515.

This study examined the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the Spanish version of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure Revised (Meim-R). Participants for this study were 1002 adolescents living in Spain, half of them first-generation migrants (67.7% born in Latin America, 13.6% in Eastern Europe, 13.2% in Africa, 3.6% in Asia and 2% in the rest of Europe, as well as their parents). Confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis supports that the scale measures the two dimensions of ethnic identity (exploration and commitment) proposed by the original authors, and that these dimensions are correlated. High Measurement Invariance levels of this structure are proved across gender, periods of adolescence and native and immigrant adolescents.

Palabras clave : ethnic identity; immigration; adolescence; measurement invariance.
