The current research developed ultra-brief (SSOSH-3) and revised (SSOSH-7) versions of the Self-Stigma of Seeking Help scale. Item response theory was used to examine the amount of information each item provided across the latent variable scale and test whether items functioned differently across women and men. In a sample of 857 community adults, results supported removal of three reverse-scored items to create the SSOSH-7. The three most informative items were retained to create the SSOSH-3. Differential item functioning testing supported the use of both versions across women and men. Results replicated in an undergraduate student sample ( = 661). In both samples, the SSOSH-3 (αs = .82-.87) and SSOSH-7 (αs = .87-.89) demonstrated evidence of internal consistency. The SSOSH-3 (s ≥ .89) and SSOSH-7 (s ≥ .97) were highly correlated with the original SSOSH across samples and demonstrated significant correlations with help-seeking constructs and in similar magnitude to the original SSOSH.
当前的研究开发了超简短版（SSOSH-3）和修订版（SSOSH-7）的《寻求帮助的自我污名量表》。项目反应理论被用来检验每个项目在潜在变量量表上提供的信息量，并测试项目在女性和男性之间是否有不同的作用。在一个由 857 名社区成年人组成的样本中，结果支持删除三个反向计分项目，以创建 SSOSH-7。保留三个最具信息量的项目来创建 SSOSH-3。差异项目功能测试支持在女性和男性中使用这两个版本。在本科生样本（n=661）中也得到了验证。在两个样本中，SSOSH-3（αs=.82-.87）和 SSOSH-7（αs=.87-.89）都表现出了内部一致性的证据。SSOSH-3（s≥.89）和 SSOSH-7（s≥.97）与原始 SSOSH 在样本之间高度相关，并与寻求帮助的结构有显著的相关性，且与原始 SSOSH 的相关性相当。
