U.S. Multicultural Marketing: Towards an Ethnic Identity Scale

Segmentation by ethnic identity presents an emic and subjective method to examine U.S. multicultural consumer behavior relative to targeted marketing communications. This study proposes a scale of ethnic identity - inspired by Hofstede’s Dimension of Culture but draws on Self-Identity Theory, tested against the Theories of Intercultural Accommodation and Social Class.
