本研究描述了反双性恋体验量表（ABES）的开发和心理测量评估。项目是在先前文献的基础上制定的，根据专家反馈进行修订，并提交进行心理测量评估。对 350 名双性恋参与者的数据进行探索性因素分析，得出了报告的偏见待遇经历的 3 个因素，反映了 (a) 性取向不稳定、(b) 性不负责任和 (c) 人际敌意。这种结构是随着双性恋者所报告的异性恋者以及男女同性恋者的偏见经历而出现的。对 349 名双性恋个体的单独样本的数据进行验证性因素分析，支持了该三因素结构的稳定性。这些数据提供了可接受的可靠性（即克朗巴赫 alpha 为 0.81 至 0.94）、收敛效度（即，具有耻辱意识，r = 0.37 至 0.54；具有公众贬值意识，r = 0.28 至 0.41）和判别效度（即，对于印象管理，r = -.00 至 0.09）的证据。还探讨了各种类型的反双性恋偏见感知体验的相对水平以及此类体验在少数群体压力框架内的作用。对于 176 名双性恋个体的单独样本，ABES 最终 17 项版本的数据得出的 2 周测试重测可靠性系数为 0.77 至 0.89，各分量表的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.86 至 0.96。
This research describes the development and psychometric evaluation of the Anti-Bisexual Experiences Scale (ABES). Items were developed on the basis of prior literature, revised on the basis of expert feedback, and submitted to psychometric evaluation. Exploratory factor analysis of data from 350 bisexual participants yielded 3 factors of reported experiences of prejudicial treatment reflecting (a) Sexual Orientation Instability, (b) Sexual Irresponsibility, and (c) Interpersonal Hostility. This structure emerged with bisexual persons' reported experiences of prejudice from heterosexual people as well as from lesbian and gay people. Confirmatory factor analysis of data from a separate sample of 349 bisexual individuals supported the stability of this 3-factor structure. The data offered evidence of acceptable reliability (i.e., Cronbach's alphas of .81 to .94), convergent validity (i.e., with stigma consciousness, r = .37 to .54; with awareness of public devaluation, r = .28 to .41), and discriminant validity (i.e., for impression management, r = -.00 to .09). Relative levels of the various types of perceived experiences of anti-bisexual prejudice and the role of such experiences within the minority stress framework were also explored. With a separate sample of 176 bisexual individuals, data on the final 17-item version of the ABES yielded 2-week test retest reliability coefficients of .77 to .89 and Cronbach's alphas of .86 to .96 across subscales.
