the benefit of using briefer measures in research with non-English-speaking participants is that there will likely be fewer translation problems due to fewer items to translate. A third limitation was the sample size for Study One, which was modest for a confirmatory factor analysis and precluded multiple group analyses. A larger, more diverse sample would be especially desirable to test for differences in the underlying structure across sex or race/ethnicity, and would also allow for additional analyses, such as those based on item-response theory, that could provide further psychometric support for the B-BAES.
