ABSTRACT The present paper introduces the Ethnic Adornment Survey as a measure of the relative frequency with which individuals use clothing to express their ethnic identity. Results of exploratory factor analyses in a pilot study (n = 174) and confirmatory factor analyses in a main study (n = 217) revealed that the Ethnic Adornment Survey measures two positively correlated, yet distinct, ethnic adornment factors (i.e., socially desirable and undesirable aspects). Moreover, results of regression analyses indicated that (1) self-esteem was positively predicted by socially desirable aspects of ethnic adornment (p’s < .05 in both studies); whereas (2) self-esteem was negatively predicted by socially undesirable aspects of ethnic adornment (p’s < .05 in the pilot study and < .10 in the main study). Implications for research on ethnic identity are discussed.

民族装饰调查 (EAS)：衡量个人使用服装来表达民族身份的情况

摘要 本文介绍了民族服饰调查，作为衡量个人使用服装表达其民族身份的相对频率的一种方法。一项试点研究 (n = 174) 中的探索性因素分析和一项主要研究 (n = 217) 中的验证性因素分析结果表明，民族装饰调查测量了两个正相关但又截然不同的民族装饰因素（即社会期望和不受欢迎的方面）。此外，回归分析的结果表明：（1）民族装饰的社会理想方面对自尊有积极的预测（两项研究中 p's < .05）；而（2）自尊被社会上不受欢迎的种族装饰方面负面预测（在试点研究中 p < .05，在主要研究中 p < .10）。
