摘要

虽然巴西对显性歧视量表(EDS)进行了广泛的心理测量评估,但该工具尚未在该国的工作年龄成人受访者中进行全面评估。本研究旨在填补这一知识空白。我们使用了一项队列调查中约 1200 名不同成员的数据来检验:(1) 受访者在 EDS 潜在特质连续体上的定位;(2) 相应项目在多大程度上代表了 EDS 的结构图;以及 (3) EDS 项目在多大程度上遵循了其预期的强度水平。我们使用 Loevinger's H、Guttman 误差和项目反应理论参数对这些特性进行了评估。研究结果表明,该工具的两个简略版本--尤其是包含八个项目的 EDS--可以适当地将受访者沿着潜在特质连续体排列。分析还显示,量表项目在建构图上的分布较为合理,但预期强度水平与其在相应图中的实际位置存在一定差异。在巴西工作年龄的成年受访者中,EDS 的简化版本具有良好的心理测量特性。除了检查 EDS 在多个群体中的不变性之外,未来的心理测量学评估还应该对量表的外部效度进行评估。

One step further in mistreatment research: Assessing the scalability of the Explicit Discrimination Scale among Brazilian working-age adult respondents.

Though the Explicit Discrimination Scale (EDS) has been subjected to extensive psychometric evaluation in Brazil, the instrument has yet to be comprehensively assessed among working-age adult respondents in the country. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap. Data from around 1200 diverse members of a cohort investigation were used to examine: (1) the positioning of respondents along the continuum of the EDS latent trait; (2) how well the corresponding items represent the EDS construct map; and (3) the extent to which the EDS items follow their expected levels of intensity. We assessed these properties with Loevinger's H, Guttman errors, and Item Response Theory parameters. Findings suggest that two abridged versions of the instrument-but especially the eight-item EDS-may adequately arrange respondents along the latent trait continuum. Analyses also revealed that scale items are reasonably spread over the construct map, with some discrepancy between the expected levels of intensity and their empirical positioning in the corresponding plot. The shortened versions of EDS have good psychometric properties among Brazilian working-age adult respondents. In addition to examining the invariance of the EDS across multiple groups, future psychometric evaluations should assess the external validity of the scale.
