Asian American men are an extremely diverse group. The term "Asian American" alone is applied to over 43 different ethnic groups---groups which are also diverse in terms of residential preferences, country of origin, immigration, history, acculturation rates, language proficiencies, etc. (Chiu & Lee, 2004; Lee, 1996). However, predominant stereotypes of Asian American men as the model minority, as perpetual foreigners, and as socially inept, emasculate, and/or patriarchal have stripped away these images of diversity. The presence of these pervasive images provides a hazard to the psychological health of Asian American men, especially if these stereotypical images are endorsed about the group or self. Adopting these stereotypes can lead to unfavorable self-evaluations (Williams & Williams-Moris, 2000) that have deleterious effects on the psychological well-being of Asian American men. In measuring the endorsement of stereotypes, it is also important to examine beliefs of the group separate from the self. This is because stereotypes that are believed to be true about the group are not necessarily believed about the self (and vice versa). Racial identity theory, social identity theory, and the construct of collective self-esteem were used to conceptualize the two-part design for the SAAMES. In developing this scale---the Stereotypes of Asian American Men Endorsement Scale (SAAMES)---I developed two main scales for the SAAMES, measuring endorsement of stereotypes about the group (SAAMES-Group) and the self (SAAMES-Self) separately. I reviewed the literature and consulted with a panel of experts to establish the items of the scale, and used factor analysis to establish the factor-structure of the SAAMES. The above process led to the establishment of a 33-item, 4-factor Group scale (i.e., SAAMES-Group) and a 27-item, 3-factor Self scale (i.e., SAAMES-Self). Some evidence was established for the concurrent validity of the SAAMES as the SAAMES-Group correlated in the expected direction and magnitude with conformity status attitudes of racial identity. These results, along with results that did not meet expectations, are discussed in the text. Overall, while the SAAMES should be further validated in future studies, it can be a useful tool in helping researchers examine relations between stereotype endorsement and constructs such as self-esteem.
