针对民族认同涵义正在逐步拓宽的发展趋势,文章分析了民族认同的内涵,讨论了民族认同与种族认同、国家认同、文化认同等相关概念的关系。从民族认同的测量范式入手,比较分析了MEIM、MEIM-R、EIS等量表。归纳了以民族认同作为调节变量、中介变量的最新研究及其相关研究。未来深化民族认同研究的基本途径为关键术语一致化、研究方法精确化和评估水平全面化。
Ethnic identity has been focused on by ethnology, sociology, psychology and anthropology. According to the widening trend of the connotation, the concept of ethnic identity was analyzed. Some scholars emphasized belonging to an ethnic group or shared values and attitudes. And others emphasized acceptance of national culture. In short, the definition of ethnic identity was limited to individuals＇ ethnicity and national ownership in previous studies, as research progresses, the connotation of ethnic identity shows a widening trend of development gradually. Furthermore, there was much confusion among ethnic identity and its related concepts. So the relationships between ethnic identity and its related concepts including racial identity, national identity and culture identity were compared and discussed. According to Kuhn＇s paradigm theory, Cokley（2007） first proposed the measurement paradigm of ethnic identity. It was discussed by comparing the scales MEIM, MEIM-R and EIS. Based on the belief that ethnic identity is a general phenomenon with elements that are common across all ethnic group members, MEIM is conceptualized to measure three aspects： affirmation, achievement and behaviors. To improve the construct validity and reliability of the preexisting MEIM, a revised measure called MEIM-R was introduced. MEIM-R has two factors（exploration and commitment）, and each factor has 3 items. To address this limitation in the MEIM, another less known but promising measure called the Ethnic Identity Scale （EIS） was introduced to assess the three distinct components of ethnic identity： exploration, resolution and affirmation. From the empirical point of view, the latest researches in which ethnic identity was used as the moderator or mediator were summarized, but in different cultures, the regulating role and mediating effect of ethnic identity need to be tested and explored. The relevant studies indicated high levels of ethnic identity was positively associated with serf-esteem, confidence, well-being
