AB - A 4-phase project was conducted to develop a culturally appropriate measure of psychosocial stress, the Hispanic Stress Inventory (HSI). Phase 1 involved the collection of open-ended interview data (N = 105)to generate a set of meaningful psychosocial stress items. Phase 2 examined the construct validity of the HSI items by means of consensus ratings of expert judges along 6 conceptual categories. Phase 3 (N = 493)involved the use of factor analytic procedures to determine the underlying scale structure of the HSI, both for a Latin American immigrant and a U.S.-born (Mexican American) sample. This procedure resulted in an Immigrant Version of the HSI comprised of 73 items and 5 distinct sub-scales, as well as a U.S.-born version of the HSI comprised 59 items and 4 distinct subscales. In Phase 4, reliability estimates for the HSI were conducted by means of both internal consistency and a small test–retest study (N = 35). Both procedures yielded high reliability coefficients.
