In this study we assessed the construct validity of the recently published White Racial Affect Scale (Grzanka et al., 2020). Specifically, we assessed the convergent, criterion-related, and incremental evidence for construct validity of the White guilt, White shame, and White defensiveness (called "White negation" in the original article) factors. We used a video stimulus to trigger state guilt and shame in participants as part of the construct validity investigation. White adults in the United States signed up for the study online (N = 262) and watched a 5-min video stimulus and completed questionnaires before and after the video. Results of this study replicated many of the findings from the original White Racial Affect Scale validation study (Grzanka et al., 2020). We found strong evidence of construct validity for the White guilt and White defensiveness factors and mixed evidence for the White shame factor. We discuss directions for future research and implications for potential interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

内疚、羞愧和/或两者兼而有之？进一步验证白人种族情感量表。


在这项研究中，我们评估了最近发布的白人种族影响量表的结构效度（Grzanka et al.， 2020）。具体来说，我们评估了白人内疚、白人羞耻感和白人防御性（在原文中称为“白人否定”）因素的构建有效性的收敛性、标准相关和增量证据。作为结构有效性调查的一部分，我们使用视频刺激来触发参与者的状态内疚和羞耻感。美国的白人成年人在线注册了这项研究 （N = 262） 并观看了 5 分钟的视频刺激，并在视频前后完成了问卷调查。这项研究的结果复制了原始白人种族影响量表验证研究（Grzanka 等人，2020 年）的许多发现。我们发现了白人内疚和白人防御因素的结构有效性的有力证据，以及白人羞耻因素的混合证据。我们讨论了未来研究的方向和对潜在干预措施的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
