Psychometric
properties
Internal
consistency: Alpha values: For scale AB = .92, Scale CG = .93 (Lee et al.,
2013)
Tests-retest
reliability: For an average of 11.56 days, the values for each scale were AB =
.85, CG = .96 (Lee et al., 2013).
Factor
analysis: Analyses supported a two-factor model (Lee et al., 2013).
Convergent
and divergent validity
Lee et al. (2013)
provided validity data, which included correlations with several measures in
this text. The AB scale was significantly correlated with global self-esteem,
racism, religious fundamentalism, right-wing authoritarianism, Arab-American
prejudice, and five-factor traits (OEAN). The CG scale was significantly
correlated with global self-esteem, racism, religious fundamentalism, negative
affect (PANAS), Arab-American prejudice, and five-factor traits (OA). See Let eta l. (2013) for additional details.

al. (2013).
