Abstract

Despite the Heterosexist Harassment, Rejection, and Discrimination Scale (HHRDS) being a routinely used measure of discrimination, there is no current consensus regarding its fundamental psychometric properties. This study sought to: (a) test the dimensionality of the scale using a classical test theory approach, and (b), if lacking a clear multidimensional structure, use an item response theory approach to develop a concise unidimensional measure and examine differential item and test functioning across various identity factors. In a sample of sexual minority adults (N = 1,243), evaluation of the HHRDS supported a reduced 11-item unidimensional measure. Assessment of differential item functioning suggested differences for some items between cisgender men and cisgender women, cisgender men and gender-diverse individuals, gay/lesbian and bi+ individuals, and white/non-Latine individuals and people of color. However, differential item functioning had minimal impact on total test scores, supporting the use of the revised 11-item HHRDS across groups.

异性恋骚扰、拒绝和歧视量表的心理评估：确定单维度的 11 个项目量表。

尽管异性恋骚扰、拒绝和歧视量表（HHRDS）是一种常用的歧视测量方法，但目前对其基本心理测量特性还没有达成共识。本研究旨在(a) 使用经典测验理论方法测试量表的维度；(b) 如果缺乏明确的多维结构，则使用项目反应理论方法开发简明的单维量表，并检查不同身份因素下的不同项目和测验功能。在性少数群体成人样本（N = 1 243）中，对 HHRDS 的评估支持简化的 11 个单维测量项目。对差异项目功能的评估表明，在一些项目上，顺性别男性与顺性别女性、顺性别男性与性别多元化个体、同性恋与双性恋+个体、白人/非拉丁裔个体与有色人种之间存在差异。然而，项目功能的差异对测试总分的影响微乎其微，这支持在不同群体中使用修订后的 11 个项目的人类健康状况调查。

期刊介绍： Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
