Abstract

ABSTRACT Perceived discrimination can affect psychological and physical health, starting in childhood. Yet, the measures that exist for measuring perceived discrimination among children have methodological limitations and structural/theoretical inconsistencies. The Child Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire (CPDQ) fills the gaps in the current measures by assessing two dimensions of everyday discrimination from both child and adult sources. To assess the reliability and validity of the CPDQ, we examined data from 163 participants, aged 9–11 years, 52.15% female, 57.67% Black. Results indicated that the CPDQ has good to excellent internal consistency and provided preliminary support for an a priori hypothesized factor structure. The CPDQ also discriminated between different race groups and demonstrated construct validity. Future research should seek additional evidence of reliability and validity for the CPDQ, though this preliminary evidence suggests that the CPDQ is appropriate for assessing perceived discrimination in children.

儿童感知歧视问卷的编制与初步验证

从童年开始，感知到的歧视就会影响心理和身体健康。然而，现有的衡量感知到的儿童歧视的措施存在方法上的局限性和结构/理论上的不一致。儿童感知歧视问卷(CPDQ)通过评估来自儿童和成人的日常歧视的两个维度，填补了目前措施中的空白。为了评估CPDQ的信度和效度，我们检查了163名9-11岁的参与者的数据，其中52.15%为女性，57.67%为黑人。结果表明，CPDQ具有良好至优异的内部一致性，为先验假设的因子结构提供了初步支持。CPDQ在不同种族群体之间存在差异，并证明了构念效度。未来的研究应该寻找更多的证据来证明CPDQ的可靠性和有效性，尽管初步证据表明CPDQ适合于评估儿童的感知歧视。

期刊介绍： This title has ceased (2018). This important peer-review journal provides an innovative forum, both international and multidisciplinary, for addressing cross-cultural issues and mental health. Culture as it comes to bear on mental health is a rapidly expanding area of inquiry and research within psychiatry and psychology, and other related fields such as social work, with important implications for practice in the global context. The journal is an essential resource for health care professionals working in the field of cross-cultural mental health.Readership includes psychiatrists, psychologists, medical anthropologists, medical sociologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers, general practitioners and other mental health professionals interested in the area. The International Journal of Culture and Mental Health publishes original empirical research, review papers and theoretical articles in the fields of cross-cultural psychiatry and psychology. Contributions from the fields of medical anthropology and medical sociology are particularly welcome. A continuing dialogue between members of various disciplines in various fields is encouraged. The aim of the journal is to encourage its readers to think about various issues which have clouded cross-cultural development of ideas. The journal lays special emphasis on developing further links between medical anthropology, medical sociology, clinical psychiatry and psychology, and implications of the findings on service provisions. The journal is published four times a year. The style of reference is Harvard. All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.
