背包客身份认同是背包旅游研究中的一个热点问题。然而，目前还缺乏一个有效的尺度来衡量背包客身份。本研究以社会认同理论（SIT）为指导，编制并验证了一个测量中国背包客身份认同的量表。本研究分两个阶段（研究1，n=190;研究2，n=323）使用两个中国背包客样本建立背包客身份量表（BIS）的心理测量学特性。在规模发展的过程中，一个三维（即，自我分类，团体自我价值，团体自我评价）背包客身份测量模型。修订后的量表包含16个测量项目，具有较好的信度和效度。理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
Backpacker identity has attracted growing attention in backpacker tourism research. However, there still lacks a valid scale to measure backpacker identity. Guided by Social Identity Theory (SIT), this study aims to develop and validate a scale to measure backpacker identity in the Chinese context. The study used two Chinese backpacker samples in two stages (Study 1, n=190; Study 2, n=323) to establish the psychometric properties of a backpacker identity scale (BIS). Following the process of scale development, a three-dimension (i.e., self-categorization, group self-value, and group self-evaluation) backpacker identity measurement model was identified. The refined scale with 16 measurement items was finally identified with sufficient reliability and validity. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
