The present article describes the development and initial validation of the Inventory of Microaggressions Against Black Individuals (IMABI) using a sample of 385 undergraduates who self-identified as Black or African American. The IMABI is a 14-item, unidimensional measure of racial microaggressions that captures both microinsults and microinvalidations. The present findings support the IMABI as a reliable and valid measure of microaggressions that was associated with general distress and perceived stress. Importantly, the association between the IMABI and psychological adjustment persisted even when social desirability and another measure of race-related stress were included in the analyses. Discussion focuses on the potential implications of the IMABI for understanding the daily experiences and psychological adjustment of Black individuals.
本文描述了使用一个由 385 名自认为是黑人或非裔美国人的本科生组成的样本，开发和初步验证针对黑人个体的微侵犯量表（IMABI）的过程。IMABI 是一种 14 项的、单维的种族微侵犯度量工具，可捕捉微侮辱和微否定。本研究结果支持 IMABI 作为微侵犯的可靠和有效的度量工具，它与一般困扰和感知压力相关。重要的是，即使在分析中纳入了社交期望和另一项与种族相关的压力测量，IMABI 与心理适应之间的关联仍然存在。讨论集中在 IMABI 对理解黑人个体的日常经历和心理适应的潜在影响。
