BRICENO-OLIVERA, Claudio; TEREUCAN-ANGULO, Julio; GALVAN-CABELLO, Miguel e MIRANDA-VARGAS, Horacio. Evaluation of the ethnic identity scale among Mapuche adolescents in Chile. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.104-128. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.18305.
Recent studies evidence that ethnic identity is a protective factor for interethnic and intercultural societies with unequal relations. The tools that measure ethnic identity have limited psychometric validations for indigenous Chilean and Latin American populations. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the ethnic identity scale with a sample of Mapuche indigenous adolescents consisting of 501 students with an average age of 15.63, through which exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were performed. The factorial assessment results showed strong internal reliability. The suitability of the three factors included in the theoretical proposal (exploration, resolution and affirmation) explained 76% of the variance. The reliability measures indicated a .90 value for the ordinal alpha and the correlations demonstrated external validity. It is concluded that the EIS presents sufficient psychometric evidence for use in the Mapuche adolescent population.
