OBJECTIVES This study provides further validity for scores produced by the Race-Based Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (RBTSSS), through examining the relationship between perceived discrimination, trauma symptoms, and mental health symptoms with the RBTSSS. METHOD Participants consisted of 148 people of color (54% women) with an average age of 33.38 years. Study hypotheses were tested using correlational and regression analyses. RESULTS Validity was supported by strong relations with established symptom scores and perceived discrimination. Regression analysis found RBTSSS to be a significant predictor of trauma symptoms, controlling for general stress. Finally, multivariate analysis found perceived discrimination to be a stronger predictor of RBTSSS symptoms than general stress. CONCLUSIONS The RBTSSS demonstrates strong relations with other symptom measures and perceived discrimination, supporting the validity of the RBTSSS scores. Both researchers and practitioners may benefit from use of the instrument which captures emotional outcomes specific to racial trauma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

种族歧视和创伤症状：进一步支持基于种族的创伤应激症状量表。

目的 本研究通过检查感知歧视、创伤症状和心理健康症状与基于种族的创伤应激症状量表 (RBTSSS) 之间的关系，进一步验证了基于种族的创伤应激症状量表 (RBTSSS) 产生的分数的有效性。方法 参与者包括 148 名有色人种（54% 为女性），平均年龄为 33.38 岁。使用相关和回归分析来测试研究假设。结果 有效性得到了与既定症状评分和感知歧视的密切关系的支持。回归分析发现，在控制一般压力的情况下，RBTSSS 是创伤症状的重要预测因子。最后，多变量分析发现感知歧视比一般压力更能预测 RBTSSS 症状。结论 RBTSSS 表现出与其他症状测量和感知歧视的密切关系，支持 RBTSSS 分数的有效性。研究人员和从业者都可以从使用该工具捕获种族创伤特有的情感结果中受益。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
