Cross-Cultural Equivalence of a Measure of Perceived Discrimination Between Chinese-Americans and Vietnamese-Americans

Discrimination and Romani health: a validation study of discrimination scales among Romani women in Macedonia and Serbia

“…Our finding that a reduced-item version of the EDS performed better was similar to previous research in the USA (Chan et al 2012;Kim et al 2014;Reeve et al 2011;Stucky et al 2011). However, two other studies found a single-factor solution using the complete scale, although one of these two studies had deleted the 'courtesy' item a priori due to potential redundancy (Lewis et al 2012;Shariff-Marco et al 2011).…”

“…The EOD and EDS have demonstrated high construct validity among African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and whites in the USA (Chan et al 2012;Cunningham et al 2011;Krieger et al 2005;Lewis et al 2012;ShariffMarco et al 2011;Stucky et al 2011) The validity of these scales in diverse ethnic populations suggests that they may be appropriate for use in ethnic minority groups in other countries. In particular, the scales may be useful in the Romani population, which one sociologist has directly compared to the inner-city African American population as a structural underclass (Szelenyi and Ladanyi 2006).…”

Development and validation of the Acculturative Stress Scale for Chinese College Students in the United States (ASSCS).

“…Especially, Mori (2000) reported the racist educational system as a unique barrier for international students to survive in academic settings. Researchers have also investigated perceived discrimination and adjustment among Chinese immigrant families and adolescents (Benner & Kim, 2009;Chan, Tran, & Nguyen, 2012). Perceived discrimination would severely obstruct individuals' acculturation process and increase their stress levels (Padilla & Perez, 2003).…”

“…Perceived Discrimination described environmental obstacles in Chinese students' acculturation process (Benner & Kim, 2009;Chan, Tran, & Nguyen, 2012;Hwang & Ting, 2008). Academic Pressure was significant for Chinese students, especially when excellent academic performance was expected in Chinese culture (Mori, 2000;Pan et al, 2010;Wei et al, 2007).…”

Measurement Invariance of the Short Inventory of Problems-Revised across African-American and Non-Latino White Substance Users

“…For instance, Crockett, Randall, Shen, Russell, and Driscoll (2005) reported that the factor solution of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977) pertained to non-Latino White American adolescents in a national sample, but was not appropriate for Cuban American or Puerto Rican youth. Similarly, Chan Tran, and Nguyen (2012) determined that only some items from the Williams Everyday Discrimination Scale (Williams, Yu, Jackson, & Anderson, 1997) were invariant across Vietnamese-American and Chinese-American adults.…”
