Abstract We developed and validated a self-report scale assessing women’s daily experiences with hostile and benevolent sexism within domains of paternalism, gender differentiation, and heterosexuality. Women in two independent samples (Ns = 540 and 345) reported how frequently they experienced various hostile and benevolent forms of gender-based treatment derived from ambivalent sexism theory. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, along with item response theory, resulted in a 28-item scale (the Experiences with Ambivalent Sexism Inventory [EASI]) with five subscales assessing hostile sexism, heterosexual hostility, protective paternalism, complementary gender differentiation, and heterosexual intimacy. The EASI demonstrates good internal consistency reliability, convergent and divergent validity, concurrent validity, and incremental validity when compared with a self-report measure of benevolent sexism. Moreover, it can be used flexibly to measure sexism experiences within specific contexts. We also validated a 20-item short version (the EASI-20) and a very brief 10-item version (the EASI-10) for use in time-constrained contexts. Discussion considers the benefits that the EASI offers researchers, as well as its limitations.

矛盾性别歧视问卷 (EASI) 的经验

摘要 我们开发并验证了一种自我报告量表，用于评估女性在家长作风、性别差异和异性恋领域内敌对和仁慈的性别歧视的日常经历。两个独立样本（Ns = 540 和 345）中的女性报告了她们经历来自矛盾性别歧视理论的各种敌对和仁慈形式的基于性别的待遇的频率。探索性和验证性因素分析，连同项目反应理论，产生了一个 28 个项目的量表（矛盾性别歧视经历量表 [EASI]），其中有五个子量表评估敌对的性别歧视、异性恋的敌意、保护性家长作风、互补的性别分化和异性恋的亲密关系. EASI 表现出良好的内部一致性信度、收敛和发散效度、并发效度、与善意性别歧视的自我报告测量相比，增量有效性。此外，它可以灵活地用于衡量特定背景下的性别歧视经历。我们还验证了 20 个项目的简短版本（EASI-20）和一个非常简短的 10 个项目的版本（EASI-10），以用于时间受限的上下文。讨论考虑了 EASI 为研究人员提供的好处及其局限性。
