OBJECTIVE In the present study, we adapted and validated the Bicultural Identity Integration Scale for Children (BIIS-C). METHOD 259 bicultural children (119 males, 140 females; Mage = 11.07, SD = 1.24) were provided with a questionnaire. Based on adult versions of the scale, we tested the factorial structure of a set of 11 nonreversed items tapping into harmony (vs. conflict; six items) and blendedness (vs. compartmentalization; five items) dimensions. RESULTS A two-factor model was compared with a one-factor model. In line with research on adults, results showed that the two-factor model (with nine items) fitted the data better than the one-factor model. The two dimensions yielded reliable scores and were correlated in the expected direction with personality variables, acculturation attitudes, and perceived discrimination. CONCLUSIONS The BIIS-C provides valid and reliable scores for research on biculturalism in childhood. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

儿童时期的双文化身份：儿童双文化身份整合量表（BIIS-C）的初步验证。


目的 在本研究中，我们改编并验证了儿童双文化认同整合量表（BIIS-C）。方法 对 259 名双文化儿童（119 名男性，140 名女性；Mage = 11.07，SD = 1.24）进行了问卷调查。基于成人版本的量表，我们测试了一组 11 个非逆向项目的阶乘结构，其中涉及和谐（与冲突；六个项目）和混合性（与划分；五个项目）维度。结果 将二因素模型与一因素模型进行比较。与成人研究一致，结果表明二因素模型（包含九个项目）比一因素模型更适合数据。这两个维度产生了可靠的分数，并在预期方向上与人格变量、文化适应态度和感知歧视相关。结论 BIIS-C 为儿童时期的二元文化研究提供了有效且可靠的分数。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
