Unfair treatment based on race is an unfortunate reality. While there is increasing interest in mapping the daily and longer-term impact of discrimination in psychology, studies that examine the psychometric properties of indicators spanning these timeframes are limited. Item response analysis examined the measurement characteristics of two daily measures of ethnic/racial discrimination: (a) the six-item Racial/Ethnic Discrimination Index (REDI), and (b) the modified five-item Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS; Williams et al., Journal of Health Psychology, 1997, 2, 335). This study investigated whether the two scales can be appropriately adapted to access adolescents' daily-level ethnic/racial discrimination experiences. Both measures were administered for 14 consecutive days in a sample of 350 adolescents attending public schools in a large, urban area. Results suggest that the REDI has high loading and high difficulty. All REDI items functioned similarly at daily and person levels, suggesting that any single REDI item measured on a single day is sufficient for measuring daily ethnic/racial discrimination experiences. The EDS also shows high loading and high difficulty. However, EDS items functioned differently at the daily and person levels. REDI items were invariant across gender and race/ethnicity (African Americans, Asians, and Latinx). Recommendations for measuring daily ethnic/racial discrimination are discussed.

基于种族的不公平待遇是一个不幸的现实。虽然人们越来越关注在心理学中描绘歧视的日常和长期影响，但研究这些时间范围内的歧视指标的心理测量特性的研究有限。项目反应分析考察了两种日常种族/种族歧视测量指标的测量特征：(a) 六项目种族/种族歧视指数(REDI)，以及(b) 经修订的五项目日常歧视量表(EDS;Williams 等人，《健康心理学杂志》，1997 年，2 期，335)。本研究调查了这两个量表是否可以适当地适应评估青少年的日常种族/种族歧视经历。在一个大城市公立学校的 350 名青少年样本中，连续 14 天对这两个量表进行了测试。结果表明，REDI 的负荷和难度都很高。REDI 的所有项目在日常和个人水平上的功能都相似，这表明在任何一天测量的任何单个 REDI 项目都足以衡量日常的种族/种族歧视经历。EDS 也显示出高负荷和高难度。然而，EDS 项目在日常和个人水平上的功能不同。REDI 项目在性别和种族/族裔(非裔美国人、亚裔和拉丁裔)方面是不变的。讨论了衡量日常种族/种族歧视的建议。(PsycInfo 数据库记录(c)2021 APA，保留所有权利)。
