Racial and ethnic issues stand at the core of social, political, and economic concerns in an increasingly diverse America. Accordingly, how individuals from the various ethnic groups regard themselves-and others-is a salient focus of research studies across the disciplines. Measuring Race and Ethnicity gathers psychological measures of common phenomena such as racial identity, acculturation, and intra- and intergroup relations enabling researchers to compare concepts across groups and better evaluate differences and disparities.

Researchers in psychology, social work, and public health examining cultural and race-related topics will find an immediately relevant source of valid and reliable scales in Measuring Race and Ethnicity.

From the reviews:
"The inspiration for Measuring Race and Ethnicity was Robinson and Shaver´s (1969) classic text, which entailed a collection of social-psychological scales categorized into the major areas of social psychology (e.g., attitudes, values, interpersonal relationships). ... Measuring Race and Ethnicity is essentially an almanac of racial and ethnic measures. ... the volume, breadth, and level of detail provided for scales across multiple ethnic groups still make this a very useful resource for researchers interested in the measurement of ethnicity and race-related phenomena." (Richard D. Harvey and Cathryn D. Blue, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 56 (17), April, 2011)
