Abstract
We examined the content and construct validity of the White Racial Identity Attitude Scale (WRIAS; Helms & Carter, 1990) in two separate studies. In Study 1, we submitted WRIAS data reported by Tokar and Swanson (1991) to item and factor analyses to examine psychometric characteristics and dimensionality of the instrument. In Study 2, trained judges examined the content of each WRIAS item and rationally assigned the items to appropriate subscales based on Helms′s (1984) theory. Results of the two studies did not support the psychometric adequacy of the WRIAS.
