Abstract

Although substantial research indicates that considerations about status can lead to anxiety and other negative outcomes, a valid measure of the importance individuals attribute to status is lacking. This paper introduces the Status Importance Scale (SIS), a mono-factorial 10-item self-report questionnaire that quantifies how important a person deems status to be. Five studies validate the scale showing that it has excellent internal reliability and acceptable test–retest reliability, it correlates with several related measures (supporting convergent validity), it shows little correlation with theoretically unrelated constructs (supporting discriminant validity), it is the best predictor of conspicuous consumption compared with other potential candidates (supporting concurrent validity), and it can help predicting which activities one gives importance to (further supporting concurrent validity). Finally, as hypothesized by previous literature, the last study reveals that the SIS can predict status anxiety. The SIS can contribute to research regarding important phenomena such as the detrimental psychological effects of income inequality.

地位重要性量表:开发并验证用于衡量人们对地位重视程度的自我报告问卷。
尽管大量研究表明,对地位的考虑可能会导致焦虑和其他负面结果,但目前还缺乏一种有效的方法来衡量个人对地位的重视程度。本文介绍了 "地位重要性量表"(Status Importance Scale,SIS),这是一个由 10 个项目组成的单因素自我报告问卷,可以量化一个人认为地位有多重要。五项研究对该量表进行了验证,结果表明该量表具有极佳的内部信度和可接受的重测信度,与多个相关测量指标相关(支持收敛效度),与理论上不相关的构念几乎不相关(支持判别效度),与其他可能的候选指标相比,该量表是预测炫耀性消费的最佳指标(支持并发效度),并且有助于预测一个人重视哪些活动(进一步支持并发效度)。最后,正如之前的文献所假设的那样,最后一项研究揭示了 SIS 可以预测身份焦虑。SIS 可以为收入不平等的有害心理影响等重要现象的研究做出贡献。
