在社会科学领域，人们重新有兴趣研究偏见和歧视作为压力源，并评估其对各种健康结果的影响。这就需要有理论基础和心理测量学上的合理措施的偏见。作为研究人员接近这一任务，有几个概念问题需要解决。作者描述了3个这样的问题，涉及（1）偏见影响的个体与结构测量，（2）压力的客观与主观评估，（3）重大事件与日常歧视的测量。研究人员如何处理测量问题取决于具体的研究目的，但他们必须考虑这些概念问题，并了解各种方法的优势和局限性，以研究偏见作为压力。
In the field of social sciences, there has been a renewed interest in studying prejudice and discrimination as stressors and assessing their impact on various health outcomes. This raises a need for theoretically based and psychometrically sound measures of prejudice.As researchers approach this task, there are several conceptual issues that need to be addressed. The author describes 3 such issues related to (1) individual versus structural measures of the impact of prejudice, (2) objective versus subjective assessments of stress, and (3) measures of major events versus everyday discrimination.How researchers approach the problem of measurement depends on the specific study aims, but they must consider these conceptual issues and understand the advantages and limitations of various approaches to the study of prejudice as stress.
