| Abstract: | Adolescence is a period when many youth are subjected to close scrutiny by peers. Acting white is one of the most negative
accusations one African American adolescent can hurl at another. The accusation has been documented as early as elementary
school; however, the research indicates it is most salient and first likely to occur during early adolescence. In this paper,
the assessment of adolescents’ experience of the acting white accusation is sought. A series of studies are presented that
explore both qualitative and quantitative approaches to assessing the acting white accusation wherein the qualitative data
and findings guide the formation of a quantitative assessment of the acting white accusation experience. Based on the results,
a mixed methods approach is recommended to facilitate further understanding of the accusation. |
