While research has demonstrated that confrontations of prejudice serve as effective prejudice reduction tools and as a coping mechanism for targets of prejudice, research has yet to identify a validated measurement of prejudice confrontation styles. The present research develops the Prejudice Confrontation Styles (PCS) Scale, which includes five styles of prejudice confrontation: Educational, Argumentative, Help-seeking, Empathy, and Humor. The factor structure of the PCS Scale is identified across two diverse samples employing exploratory (Study 1) and confirmatory (Study 2) factor analyses. Moreover, the PCS Scale demonstrates construct validity, predicting imagined confrontation styles two weeks later among women confronting prejudice, and prejudice confrontation styles moderated autonomy, rumination, and perceived effectiveness of prejudice confrontations (Study 3). Thus, the present research identifies and develops a tool to measure prejudice confrontation styles and demonstrates that prejudice confrontation styles are associated with divergent psychological health outcomes.

尽管研究表明偏见对抗是有效的减少偏见的工具，并且是应对偏见目标的一种应对机制，但研究尚未找到对偏见对抗方式进行验证的衡量标准。本研究开发了偏见对抗样式（PCS）量表，该量表包括偏见对抗的五种样式：教育性，议论性，寻求帮助，同理心和幽默感。使用探索性（研究1）和确认性（研究2）因子分析在两个不同的样本中确定PCS量表的因子结构。此外，PCS量表显示出建构效度，可以预测两周后面临偏见的女性的想象对抗风格，并且偏见对抗风格可调节自主权，反省力，和偏见对抗的有效性（研究3）。因此，本研究确定并开发了一种衡量偏见对抗方式的工具，并证明偏见对抗方式与不同的心理健康结果相关。
