    Este estudio explora la identidad étnica en un grupo de 662 estudiantes (326 mestizos y 336 indígenas) de la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas (IUCh). Algunos autores señalan que la identidad étnica es más acusada en los adolescentes que pertenecen a una minoría étnica que en los que son miembros de una mayoría étnica. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: 1) determinar la estructura y la validez de la Medida de Identidad Étnica Multigrupo en una muestra de grupos étnicos mayoritarios y minoritarios de la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas y 2) estudiar la variabilidad de la identidad étnica entre ambos grupos. Concretamente, se postuló que se pueden distinguir dos factores en la Medida de Identidad Étnica Multigrupo y que ambos grupos diferirían significativamente en su identidad étnica. Los resultados apoyaron estas hipótesis.

    This study explored ethnic identity among 662 students (326 mestizos and 336 indigenous) from the Intercultural University of Chiapas (IUCh). Scholars suggest that ethnicity is more salient for ethnic minority adolescents than for adolescents who are members of the ethnic majority. The aims for this study were: 1) to determine the structure and validity of ethnic identity as measured by the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure in a sample of majority and minority ethnic groups from Intercultural University in Chiapas, and 2) to examine the variability of ethnic identity across ethnic groups. Specifically, it was hypothesized that the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure would show two factors, and that ethnic groups would differ on ethnic identity. The results supported the hypotheses.
