This paper developed and validated a new measure of support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement among a racially–ethnically diverse sample of college students. The measure focuses on the movement’s principles of Black liberation, intersectionality, and alliance building. Participants included 1934 college students (75% female) from a large public Southwestern university. The factor structure was supported by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, resulting in an 18-item measure, Support for Black Lives Matter, with two underlying factors. Black Liberation includes 12 items representing support for BLM because of awareness of and challenging structural inequality and racism experienced by Black individuals. Intersectional Values includes six items representing support for BLM because it embraces and affirms marginalized populations within the Black community, especially disabled Blacks, queer Blacks, Black women, and Black families with children. Evidence of criterion-related validity was demonstrated with racial group differences in support of BLM factors. Evidence of convergent validity was supported by significant positive correlations between support for BLM factors and critical consciousness (including awareness of racism, classism, and heterosexism), and negative correlations between support for BLM factors and subtle racist attitudes toward Blacks. Measurement invariance was evident between White, Black, Asian American, Latinx, and Multiracial participants. Implications and suggestions for use of the new measure are discussed.

在不同种族的大学生中制定对“黑人的命也是命”措施的支持

本文开发并验证了一种新的衡量标准，以支持不同种族的大学生样本中的“黑人的命也是命”（BLM）运动。该措施侧重于黑人解放运动的原则、交叉性和联盟建设。参与者包括来自西南一所大型公立大学的 1934 名大学生（75% 是女性）。因子结构得到探索性和验证性因子分析的支持，产生了一个 18 项的衡量标准，支持黑人生命也是重要的，有两个潜在因素。Black Liberation包括 12 项代表对 BLM 的支持，因为他们意识到并挑战了黑人个体所经历的结构性不平等和种族主义。交叉值包括代表对 BLM 的支持的六个项目，因为它包含并肯定黑人社区内的边缘化人群，尤其是残疾黑人、酷儿黑人、黑人妇女和有孩子的黑人家庭。与支持 BLM 因素的种族群体差异证明了标准相关有效性的证据。收敛效度的证据得到了对 BLM 因素的支持与批判意识（包括对种族主义、阶级主义和异性恋的意识）之间的显着正相关以及对 BLM 因素的支持与对黑人的微妙种族主义态度之间的负相关的支持。白人、黑人、亚裔美国人、拉丁裔和多种族参与者之间的测量不变性很明显。讨论了使用新措施的影响和建议。
