Almost without exception, he says, the scholars involved committed two significant errors: They drew conclusions about adult identity from the results of research among preschool-aged children. In addition, they used measures that assessed social attitudes-views about racial identity-but interpreted their findings as if they had also measured elements of personality, such as self-esteem and self-hatred.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Chronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\"A major contribution to the scholarship on Black psychological identity....
