The American Identity Measure (AIM)

The AIM (Schwartz et al., 2012) is designed to measure U.S. identity with 12-items and a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree). This measure parallels the MEIM in terms of item content and structure. In the AIM, “the United States” was inserted in place of “my ethnic group.” This measure is available in both English and Spanish translations.
