White Racial Identity: Science, Faith, and Pseudoscience: Work of J. E. Helms
Rowe, Wayne
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v34 n4 p235 Oct 2006
J. E. Helms's (1995b) White racial identity theory is said to resemble a pseudoscience in certain respects because its empirical support is based on the White Racial Identity Attitude Scale (J. E. Helms & R. T. Carter, 1990) in spite of consistent evidence that the instrument does not measure the constructs that the theory proposes.
