title: Armenian Ethnic Orientation Questionnaire-Revised.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to report the development of a shorter revised version of the 57-item Armenian Ethnic Orientation Questionnaire. Data from two different independently conducted studies were presented. One of the studies used a convenient sample from Pasadena, California (n = 155) composed of Armenian adolescents (48% girls, 52% boys; with a mean age of 15.6 yr., SD = 1.2) who attended public schools. The second study used a convenient sample from Toronto, Ontario (n = 108) composed of community members at large (48% women, 52% men; with a mean age of 34.0 yr., SD = 15.3). A revision of 15 items rated on a 6-point scale showed good scale score reliability and construct validity. In both studies, scores on the revised version differentiated native-born from immigrant groups and were correlated with more ethnic behaviors and greater involvement.
