An empirical measure of East Asian ethnic identity was developed and evaluated. One hundred and fifty nonclinical East Asian immigrants (75 males and 75 females) were administered the East Asian Ethnic Identity Scale (EAEIS) and a psychometrically established measure of self-construal. Satisfactory reliability is reported for the overall EAEIS as well as its three factor analytically derived scales, including family values, ethnic pride (language, sense of belonging), and interpersonal distance. While EAEIS and independent self-construal were not associated, individuals who endorsed EAEIS were more likely to report an interdependent self-construal. The findings suggest that the EAEIS may be a useful tool for researchers and clinicians to investigate potentially important themes and individual differences in the experiences of East Asian immigrants.
我们开发并评估了一种衡量东亚族裔身份的实证方法。150名非临床东亚移民（75名男性和75名女性）接受了东亚族裔身份量表（EAEIS）以及一种心理测量学上已确立的自我建构测量方法。报告显示，整体EAEIS及其通过因素分析得出的三个量表，包括家庭价值观、族裔自豪感（语言、归属感）和人际距离，具有令人满意的信度。虽然EAEIS与独立自我建构无关，但认可EAEIS的个体更有可能报告相互依存的自我建构。研究结果表明，EAEIS可能是研究人员和临床医生调查东亚移民经历中潜在重要主题和个体差异的有用工具。
