Analyzes narrative & mythic features of Chicano discourse as expressed in the newspapers La Raza & El Gallo, 1968-1970. During this period, Chicano groups were working toward greater social & economic justice for their people. To achieve these goals, they appealed to mythic notions of La Raza & Aztlan to motivate & mobilize their constituencies. From the space of these mythic constructs, activists created alternative identities & understanding of the salient political & social issues. Moreover, they constructed a history for the Chicano people that might unify its members around a common political goal. Thus, nationalism in this instance was not constructed on the basis of geography, but rhetorically, through the development of an imagined community. Though developed over 20 years ago, these cultural resources are only dormant, not dead, & may animate modern-day activism given the right circumstances. D. M. Smith

This study describes the development of the Worldview Analysis Scale (WAS), an instrument designed to assess the way in which people perceive, think, feel, and experience the world. Four studies were conducted to describe the scale development of the WAS and to assess its psychometric properties. Eight hundred sixteen African, African American, European, European American, and multiethnic participants served as the validation sample. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses provided evidence for seven subscales: materialistic universe, spiritual immortality, communalism, indigenous values, tangible realism, knowledge of self, and spiritualism. MANOVA analyses found evidence for cultural differences in worldview at the ethnic level of analysis. Results indicated favorable reliability, validity, and factor structure indices for the WAS. Applications of the WAS in culturally competent research, training, and psychotherapy are discussed.
