  • Re-Examining the Relationship Between Black Racial Identity and Self-Esteem Using Person- and Variable-Centered Approaches

    Open AccessAshley M Ryan, Shannon Chavez-Korell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2026References: 38

    We examined the relationship between two types of self-esteem (global self-esteem and collective self-esteem) and Black racial identity based on the expanded nigrescence theory (NT-E). Black college students ( N = 344) responded to the Cross Racial Identity Scale and measures of global and collective self-esteem. To provide a more nuanced assessment of Black racial identity using a person-centered approach, cluster analysis identified six racial …

  • Is Multicultural Counseling Competence Outdated or Underdeveloped, or in Need of Refinement? A Response to Ridley et al

    Open AccessBeverly J Vandiver, Edward A Delgado‐romero et al.ARTICLEThe Counseling Psychologist2021Cited by: 5References: 13

    This paper provides a response to Ridley et al.’s Major Contribution on the state of multicultural counseling competence (MCC) and their proposed refinement and extension of this construct. They pose the following multiprong question: “Is multicultural counseling competence becoming outdated and supplanted, or is it underdeveloped and in need of refinement?” We use this question to examine the MCC model that Ridley et al. have proposed in this Ma…

  • Psychometric Properties of Cross Ethnic-Racial Identity Scale-Adult (Ceris-A) Scores: A Replication Study

    F C Worrell, Peony E Fhagen et al.ARTICLEIdentity2020

    In this paper, we examined the internal consistency and structural validity of Cross Ethnic-Racial Identity Scale-Adult (CERIS-A) scores. The CERIS-A, developed to assess ethnic-racial identity attitudes in diverse ethnic and racial groups, has seven 4-item subscales: Assimilation, Miseducation, Self-Hatred, Anti-Dominant, Ethnocentricity, Multiculturalist Inclusive, and Ethnic-Racial Salience. Participants consisted of 250 young adults aged 18 t…

  • Incorporating a Race Salience Subscale Into the Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS)

    Open AccessF C Worrell, Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2020Cited by: 3References: 23

    In this study, we examined the internal consistency and structural validity of scores on an expanded version of the Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS) consisting of the original six subscales-Assimilation, Miseducation, Self-Hatred, Anti-White, Afrocentricity, and Multiculturalist Inclusive-and a seventh subscale called Race Salience. Participants consisted of two samples of African Americans. Sample 1 had 324 participants, most of whom were stud…

  • Are CRIS Cluster Patterns Differentially Associated With African American Enculturation and Social Distance

    Open AccessShannon Chavez‐Korell, Shannon Chavez-Korell et al.ARTICLEThe Counseling Psychologist2011Cited by: 10References: 17

    The authors examined whether Black racial identity cluster patterns, using Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS) scores, were differentially associated with preference for African American culture and social distance from various cultural groups. African American college students ( N = 351) completed the CRIS, an enculturation scale, and a social distance measure. Six racial identity cluster patterns were identified using cluster analysis. A one-way…

    Peony E Fhagen-Smith, Peony E Fhagen‐smith et al.ARTICLEIdentity2010

    The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between (a) racial identity attitudes and (b) individual and contextual variables. The authors used the Cross Racial Identity Scale, which is based on the expanded nigrescence model, to assess racial identity attitudes in a sample of African American college students attending a predominantly White university in the northeastern region of the United States. One-way multivariate analyses of var…

  • Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure Scores in a Sample of Adolescents From Zimbabwe

    F C Worrell, Liza M Conyers et al.ARTICLEIdentity2006

    This study examined the structural validity of scores on the 20-item Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM; Phinney, 1992) in a group of 196 students attending secondary school in Zimbabwe. MEIM scores yielded 2 factors (Ethnic Identity, or EI, and Other Group Orientation, or OGO) as in previous studies, with the EI factor being more viable. Factor analysis of the 14 EI items resulted in a single factor, in contrast to findings of previous stu…

  • Generalizing Nigrescence Profiles: Cluster Analyses of Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS) Scores in Three Independent Samples

    Open AccessF C Worrell, Beverly J Vandiver et al.ARTICLEThe Counseling Psychologist2006Cited by: 33References: 24

    The two studies in this article examine the interpretability and generalizability of nigrescence profiles based on Cross Racial Identity Scale scores across different educational contexts. Study 1 participants ( N = 333) came from a predominantly White institution (PWI) and were grouped into six clusters labeled Afrocentric, multiculturalist, assimilated, immersion, low race salience, and miseducated variant. The two samples in Study 2 consisted …

  • Reliability and Structural Validity of Cross Racial Identity Scale Scores in a Sample of African American Adults

    Open AccessF C Worrell, Beverly J Vandiver et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2004Cited by: 29References: 25

    In this article, the authors examine the internal consistency and structural validity of scores on the Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS; Vandiver et al., 2000; Worrell, Vandiver, & Cross, 2000) in a sample of 105 adults. Exploratory factor analyses provided support for the six-factor structure of the CRIS. Reliability estimates for the scores were in the high to moderate range, and subscale inter-correlations were low. The authors conclude that …

  • Validating the Cross Racial Identity Scale

    Beverly J Vandiver, W E Cro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Counseling Psychology2002Cited by: 102References: 10

    Validation work on the Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS; B. J. Vandiver et al., 2000) is described in 2 studies using African American college students. In Study 1, an exploratory factor analysis supported the presence of 6 CRIS subscales. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis provided support for a 2-factor higher order model of the 6 CRIS subscales and the nigrescence model. Correlational analyses between the CRIS and the Multidimensional I…
