Abstract
Research on ethnicity has rarely considered ethnic affiliation as an individual-difference variable. Few attempts have been made to measure the intensity of affiliation with the ethnic group. This study examined the psychometric characteristics of a scale assessing Blacks' identification with Black culture in the United States. The findings provide support for the instrument's reliability and validity and suggest that it can be used to segment the Black population.Keywords
