背景。尽管与心理健康相关的耻辱被定义为包括知识、态度和行为的组成部分，但尚未开发出经过心理测量测试的工具来评估人口层面的行为歧视。本文介绍了报告和预期行为量表 (RIBS) 的发展和心理测量特性的详细信息，RIBS 是一种基于明星社交距离量表的工具，用于评估公众对患有心理健康问题的人报告的（过去和当前）和预期（未来）的行为歧视。方法。进行了三项研究来评估 RIBS 的心理测量特性（研究 1，n = 92；研究 2，n = 37；研究 3，n = 403）。社会经济群体中25-45岁的成年人：B、C1和C2（中等收入群体）参与了RIBS的开发和测试。结果。内部一致性和重测可靠性为中等/显着。根据服务使用者/消费者和耻辱研究国际专家的评价，发现了很强的共识有效性。结论。使用行为结果对于评估旨在减少与精神疾病相关的耻辱和/或歧视的干预措施的有效性可能很重要。 RIBS 被认为是一种简短、可行且在心理测量上稳健的措施，用于评估与心理健康相关的报告和预期的行为歧视。
Background. Although stigma in relation to mental health has been defined as including components of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, no psychometrically tested instrument to assess behavioural discrimination at the population level has been developed. This paper presents details of the development and psychometric properties of the Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale (RIBS), an instrument based on the Star Social Distance Scale, to assess reported (past and current) and intended (future) behavioural discrimination among the general public against people with mental health problems.Methods. Three studies were carried out to evaluate psychometric properties of the RIBS (Study 1, n = 92; Study 2, n = 37; Study 3, n = 403). Adults aged 25-45 in socio-economic groups: B, C1 and C2 (middle-income groups) took part in development and testing of the RIBS.Results. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability is moderate/substantial. Strong consensus validity was found, as rated by service users/consumers and international experts in stigma research.Conclusions. Use of a behavioural outcome may be important to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions intended to reduce stigma and/or discrimination related to mental illness. The RIBS was found to be a brief, feasible and psychometrically robust measure for assessing mental health-related reported and intended behavioural discrimination.
