Africentricity: An Analysis of Two Culture Specific Instruments.
Myers, Michell A.; Thompson, Vetta L. Saunders
Western Journal of Black Studies, v18 n4 p179-84 Win 1994
Examines the differences and similarities between two approaches to the assessment of racial identification: a group-based approach (Multidimensional Racial Identification Scale, MRIS) and an Africentric approach (African Self-Consciousness Scale). Results from surveys of 150 black adults confirmed the existence of four factors for the MRIS, allowing clinicians greater understanding of racial identification based on a group-specific approach.
