This study provides further validity for scores produced by the Race-Based Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (RBTSSS), through examining the relationship between perceived discrimination, trauma symptoms, and mental health symptoms with the RBTSSS.
Participants consisted of 148 people of color (54% women) with an average age of 33.38 years. Study hypotheses were tested using correlational and regression analyses.
Validity was supported by strong relations with established symptom scores and perceived discrimination. Regression analysis found RBTSSS to be a significant predictor of trauma symptoms, controlling for general stress. Finally, multivariate analysis found perceived discrimination to be a stronger predictor of RBTSSS symptoms than general stress.
The RBTSSS demonstrates strong relations with other symptom measures and perceived discrimination, supporting the validity of the RBTSSS scores. Both researchers and practitioners may benefit from use of the instrument which captures emotional outcomes specific to racial trauma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究通过检验基于种族的创伤应激症状量表（RBTSSS）所产生的分数与感知到的歧视、创伤症状和心理健康症状之间的关系，为该量表分数提供进一步的效度支持。
参与者包括148名有色人种（54%为女性），平均年龄为33.38岁。研究假设通过相关分析和回归分析进行检验。
与既定症状分数和感知到的歧视之间的强关联支持了效度。回归分析发现，在控制一般压力的情况下，RBTSSS是创伤症状的显著预测指标。最后，多变量分析发现，感知到的歧视比一般压力更能预测RBTSSS症状。
RBTSSS与其他症状测量方法和感知到的歧视之间显示出强关联，支持了RBTSSS分数的效度。研究人员和从业者都可能从使用该工具中受益，该工具能够捕捉特定于种族创伤的情绪结果。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
