We report the process of adapting and validating the BIAS Map (Behaviors from Intergroup Affect and Stereotypes) used to measure perceived stereotypes and related social structure, emotions, and behavioral tendencies toward the Roma—Slovakia's most stigmatized ethnic minority group. In two surveys (Studies 1 and 4, n = 705) and group-based (Study 2, n = 92) and individual (Study 3, n = 12) cognitive interviews, we integrated quantitative reliability, scalability, factor structure analysis, and qualitative inductive thematic analysis. We identified potential problems in the instruments’ ecological validity and explored the limits of intergroup context-specific interpretation to improve its psychometric properties. Besides developing a more reliable and valid measure, we make an argument for utilizing the emic-etic mixed methods approach to enhance the intergroup context-sensitive adaptation and validation procedure of universal measurement instruments in social psychology research.

用于测量斯洛伐克罗姆人刻板印象的 BIAS 地图的群际上下文敏感适应和验证：以一种混合方法方法为例

我们报告了调整和验证 BIAS 地图（来自群体间影响和刻板印象的行为）的过程，该地图用于衡量对罗姆人的感知刻板印象和相关的社会结构、情绪和行为倾向，罗姆人是斯洛伐克最受污名化的少数民族群体。在两项调查（研究 1 和 4，n  = 705）和基于群体的（研究 2，n  = 92）和个人（研究 3，n = 12）认知访谈，我们整合了定量可靠性、可扩展性、因素结构分析和定性归纳主题分析。我们确定了工具生态有效性中的潜在问题，并探索了群体间特定于上下文的解释的局限性，以改善其心理测量特性。除了开发一种更可靠和有效的测量方法外，我们还提出了一个论点，即利用 emic-etic 混合方法方法来增强社会心理学研究中通用测量工具的群际环境敏感适应和验证程序。
