Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Cultural psychology
  • Asian American studies

Background:

  • Existing measures may not fully capture the multidimensional values of Asian Americans.
  • There is a need for a culturally relevant and psychometrically sound instrument.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the 42-item Asian American Values Scale-Multidimensional (AAVS-M).
  • To establish the reliability and validity of the AAVS-M and its subscales.

Main Methods:

  • Principal components analysis (PCA) was used in Study 1 to identify scale components.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed in Study 2 to test the scale's factor structure.
  • Test-retest reliability was assessed in Study 3.

Main Results:

  • PCA yielded a 42-item scale with 5 components: collectivism, conformity to norms, emotional self-control, family recognition through achievement, and humility.
  • CFA supported a hierarchical factor structure for the AAVS-M.
  • The scale demonstrated good reliability and validity, including test-retest reliability.

Conclusions:

  • The AAVS-M is a reliable and valid multidimensional measure of Asian American values.
  • The scale can be used in research and clinical settings to assess culturally specific values.
