Abstract

The authors proposed that racial and gender identities were related to ego identities based on common themes that exist across these different dimensions of identity. A sample of 300 White college students completed completed the White Racial Identity Attitude Scale (Helms & Carter, 199), the Womanist Identity Attitude Scale (Ossana, Helms, & Leonard, 1992) or Men's Identity Attitude Scale (Miville & Helms, 1996), and the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (Bennion & Adams, 1986). Multivariate multiple regression analyses revealed that all ego identity statuses were significantly related to gender and/or racial identity statuses for both women and men. Implications for practice, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
