Objective: Racial discrimination can cause symptoms of trauma, yet few tools for measurement exist. African Americans have higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder and experience more racial discrimination than other groups. This study is a preliminary assessment of the psychometric properties of the Trauma Symptoms of Discrimination Scale (TSDS), a new measure of discriminatory distress measuring anxiety-related trauma symptoms. Method: African American monoracial and biracial undergraduate students (n = 123) completed questionnaires, including the TSDS, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, assessments of racial discrimination, and a range of psychopathology measures. The TSDS factor structure was determined with a principal components analysis and internal consistency was assessed. Pearson’s correlations were conducted between the TSDS and measures of discrimination and psychopathology. Linear regression was used to predict the TSDS from frequency of discrimination. Results: Item loadings suggested 4 components: (a) uncontrollable hyperarousal, (b) feelings of alienation, (c) worries about future negative events, and (d) perceiving others as dangerous. All measures of discrimination significantly predicted symptoms of trauma, even when accounting for prior traumatic experiences. Conclusions: Preliminary evidence supports the validity of the TSDS for the measurement of anxiety-related trauma symptoms due to racial discrimination. All forms of discrimination may contribute to traumatization in African Americans.

用歧视量表的创伤症状评估种族创伤。

目的:种族歧视会导致外伤症状,但很少有测量工具。与其他群体相比,非裔美国人的创伤后应激障碍发病率更高,遭受的种族歧视更多。这项研究是对创伤量表(TSDS)症状的心理计量学性质的初步评估,该量表是一种测量焦虑相关创伤症状的歧视性痛苦的新方法。方法:非裔美国人的单种族和混血儿大学生(n = 123)填写了问卷,包括TSDS,多族裔民族认同测度,种族歧视评估以及一系列心理病理学测度。通过主成分分析确定TSDS因子结构,并评估内部一致性。皮尔逊的相关性是在TSDS与歧视和心理病理学指标之间进行的。线性回归被用来根据鉴别频率预测TSDS。结果:物品的装载量包含4个组成部分:(a)不可控制的过度刺激,(b)疏远感,(c)对未来负面事件的担忧,以及(d)认为其他危险事件。即使考虑到先前的创伤经历,所有歧视措施都可以显着预测创伤的症状。结论:初步证据支持TSDS在测量种族歧视引起的焦虑相关创伤症状方面的有效性。各种形式的歧视都可能导致非洲裔美国人遭受创伤。线性回归被用来根据鉴别频率预测TSDS。结果:物品的装载量包含4个组成部分:(a)不可控制的过度刺激,(b)疏远感,(c)对未来负面事件的担忧,以及(d)认为其他危险事件。即使考虑到先前的创伤经历,所有歧视措施都可以显着预测创伤的症状。结论:初步证据支持TSDS在测量种族歧视引起的焦虑相关创伤症状方面的有效性。各种形式的歧视都可能导致非洲裔美国人遭受创伤。线性回归用于根据判别频率预测TSDS。结果:物品的装载量包含4个组成部分:(a)不可控制的过度刺激,(b)疏远感,(c)对未来负面事件的担忧,以及(d)认为其他危险事件。即使考虑到先前的创伤经历,所有歧视措施都可以显着预测创伤的症状。结论:初步证据支持TSDS在测量种族歧视引起的焦虑相关创伤症状方面的有效性。各种形式的歧视都可能导致非洲裔美国人遭受创伤。即使考虑到先前的创伤经历,所有歧视措施都可以显着预测创伤的症状。结论:初步证据支持TSDS在测量种族歧视引起的焦虑相关创伤症状方面的有效性。各种形式的歧视都可能导致非洲裔美国人遭受创伤。即使考虑到先前的创伤经历,所有歧视措施都可以显着预测创伤的症状。结论:初步证据支持TSDS在测量种族歧视引起的焦虑相关创伤症状方面的有效性。各种形式的歧视都可能导致非洲裔美国人遭受创伤。
