Integrating Identities: The Relationships of Racial, Gender, and Ego Identities among White College Students
Miville, Marie L.; Darlington, Pat; Whitlock, Brian; Mulligan, Timothy
Journal of College Student Development, v46 n2 p157-175 Mar-Apr 2005
The authors proposed that racial and gender identities were related to ego identities based on common themes that exist across these different dimensions of identity. A sample of 300 White college students completed the White Racial Identity Attitude Scale (Helms & Carter, 199), the Womanliest Identity Attitude Scale (Ossana, Helms, & Leonard, 1992) or Men's Identity Attitude Scale (Miville & Helms, 1996), and the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (Bennion & Adams, 1986). Multivariate multiple regression analyses revealed that all ego identity statuses were significantly related to gender and/or racial identity statuses for both women and men. Implications for practice, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
