Dickens and Murphy (see record 2023-63008-001) claim that the Authentic and Hubristic Pride (i.e., AP/HP) scales (see record 2007-02840-009), which we developed and validated over 15 years ago, do not validly assess the theoretical constructs of authentic and hubristic pride (e.g., Tracy & Robins, 2004a, 2007). These authors further call for the development of new measures based on a top-down approach, which would incorporate the theory into scale items. Although we appreciate Dickens and Murphy's emphasis on the need for valid assessment tools in this important research domain, we disagree with their conclusion that the extant scales are "fundamentally invalid." Here, we explain why a top-down approach would not be preferable to the bottom-up one we used and review the relatively large body of evidence supporting the validity of the extant AP/HP scales. Dickens and Murphy also raised several concerns regarding the HP scale specifically; most of these, as we explain, are either incorrect, exaggerated, or valid concerns but not ones that invalidate the HP scale. Nonetheless, we agree with Dickens and Murphy's suggestion that the AP/HP scales could be improved, and we echo their call for future research in this vein. Finally, we recommend that scholars seeking to advance the field in this way adopt the "living document" approach advocated by Gerasimova (2022).

狄更斯和墨菲（见记录 2023-63008-001）声称，我们在 15 年前开发和验证的真实和狂妄的骄傲（即 AP/HP）量表（见记录 2007-02840-009），不能有效地评估真实和狂妄的骄傲的理论结构（例如，特雷西和罗宾斯，2004a，2007）。这些作者进一步呼吁根据自上而下的方法开发新的措施，将理论纳入量表项目中。尽管我们赞赏狄更斯和墨菲在这个重要研究领域强调需要有效的评估工具，但我们不同意他们的结论，即现有的量表“从根本上是无效的”。在这里，我们解释了为什么自上而下的方法不会优于我们使用的自下而上的方法，并回顾了大量支持现有的 AP/HP 量表有效性的证据。狄更斯和墨菲还特别提出了一些关于 HP 量表的担忧；正如我们所解释的，其中大多数要么是不正确的，要么是夸大的，要么是合理的担忧，但不是使 HP 量表无效的担忧。尽管如此，我们同意狄更斯和墨菲的建议，即 AP/HP 量表可以改进，我们也赞同他们在这方面呼吁未来的研究。最后，我们建议那些希望以这种方式推动该领域发展的学者采用格拉西莫娃（2022）倡导的“活文档”方法。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
