Preferred term

instrument development for ethnic minority research  

Definition

  • Most psychological test instruments have been developed and validated only with majority group populations; therefore, their universal applicability cannot be assumed. When adapting or developing instruments for use with minority populations, construct bias must be avoided and linguistic and semantic relevance should be ensured in the preparatory phase.
