OBJECTIVE The Brief Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CVB) is a widely used, multidimensional measure of exposure to ethnic/racial discrimination. The PEDQ-CVB has not been previously validated for use with American Indians, who have endured a unique history of colonization, cultural oppression, and ongoing discrimination. This study examined the measurement invariance of the PEDQ-CVB in American Indians (AIs) and 4 other groups. Additional analyses assessed the scale's convergent and discriminant validity and provided initial evidence of associations with mental and physical health in AIs. METHOD Primary data were collected from a community sample of urban-dwelling AIs (n = 222), which included measures of ethnic/racial identity, other life stressors, and mental and physical health, along with the PEDQ-CVB. These were supplemented by secondary analysis of PEDQ-CVB data from African Americans (n = 1176), Latinos (n = 564), East Asian Americans (n = 274), and South Asian Americans (n = 242). RESULTS The PEDQ-CVB demonstrated measurement invariance across the 5 ethnic/racial groups and convergent and discriminant validity in AIs. The PEDQ-CVB was significantly associated with depressive symptoms and physical limitations in AIs, after controlling for relevant demographics. CONCLUSION This study provides strong evidence that the PEDQ-CVB behaves consistently for AIs and other underrepresented ethnic/racial groups. As such, the PEDQ-CVB allows for documentation of the experiences of different ethnic/racial groups and provides a means to test theoretical models of the antecedents and consequences of perceived discrimination within and across groups.

美洲印第安人的《简短的种族歧视问卷-社区版本》的验证。

目的《简要感知的种族歧视问卷-社区版本》（PEDQ-CVB）是一种广泛使用的衡量种族/种族歧视的多维指标。PEDQ-CVB先前尚未经过验证，可以与美洲印第安人一起使用，这些印第安人经历了独特的殖民历史，文化压迫和持续歧视。这项研究检查了美洲印第安人（AI）和其他4组中PEDQ-CVB的测量不变性。进一步的分析评估了量表的收敛性和判别有效性，并提供了与AI的身心健康相关的初步证据。方法主要数据来自社区AI社区样本（n = 222），其中包括种族/种族认同，其他生活压力以及心理和身体健康的测量指标以及PEDQ-CVB。通过对非裔美国人（n = 1176），拉丁裔（n = 564），东亚裔美国人（n = 274）和南亚裔美国人（n = 242）的PEDQ-CVB数据进行二次分析来补充这些内容。结果PEDQ-CVB展示了5个种族/种族群体的测量不变性，以及AI的收敛性和判别性有效性。在控制了相关人口统计资料后，PEDQ-CVB与AI的抑郁症状和身体限制显着相关。结论这项研究提供了有力的证据，表明PEDQ-CVB在AIs和其他代表性不足的种族/种族群体中表现一致。这样，PEDQ-CVB可以记录不同种族/种族群体的经历，并提供一种手段来测试群体内部和群体之间歧视的前因和后果的理论模型。
