Abstract
(type = abstract)
This study examines the psychometric properties of the Stereotype Scale, a 52-item measure designed to capture the endorsement of stereotypical in-group beliefs of African Americans, using appropriate exploratory factor analysis methods in two distinct samples of African American men and women from Lansing, Michigan (N = 329) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (N = 142). Scale items reflect adjectives describing positive or negative stereotypes of Blacks in general, Black men, and Black women. Viable seven- and one-factors solutions were cross-validated, with significant overlap in factors across samples. Overlapping factors for the seven-factor solution were labeled Coon, Individual Ability, Welfare Mother, Jezebel Buck, and Community Oriented, with the seven-factor model accounting for 48% of the variance in the Lansing sample and 45% of the variance in the Philadelphia sample. The one-factor model, comprised primarily of item content promoting negative beliefs, accounted for 30% of the variance in both samples. Evidence for convergent validity was found for factors within the Lansing sample, such that factors and overall scale scores were related to racial identity, psychological distress, Afrocentricity, and relationship satisfaction scores in expected directions, although not for all factors. Implications for the use of the Stereotype Scale and recommendations for future research are discussed.
