| Sumario: | Despite widespread use, there is limited research evaluating the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Inventory (MEI2) across diverse populations. Current approaches to measuring Ethnic Identity often lack relevance to diverse cultural contexts, especially in the Indonesian context and among secondary students. This study investigates the psychometric properties of the MEI2 amongIndonesian secondary school students representing diverse ethnic backgrounds. The participants consisted of 276 secondary school students (60.1% female; 39.9% male). Confirmatory factor analysis verified the validity of the MEI2, with the goodness-of-fit index indicating that the model was economical and reasonable. Furthermore, the correlation between the three domains revealed a significant positive relationship. The findings support the MEI2 as a valid instrument for assessing students' ethnic identity in this specific context. The contribution of this research is to be fostering diverse-friendly learning environments and supports educators in acknowledging and embracing the complexities of students' ethnic identities within Indonesian cultural landscapes. |
