The Coronavirus Victimization Distress Scale (CVDS; Fisher and Yip, 2020a) assessed five coronavirus victimization experiences and associated distress. Items include being teased or bullied, physically threatened, mistreated, verbally taunted or called bad names, or cyberbullied because someone thought the respondent had the coronavirus. Responses were scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = “It never happened” to 5 = “It happened and upset me quite a bit”). Prior research involving Asian, Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic/Latino young adults (Fisher et al., 2022) reported high inter-item reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.91), and the scale had good reliability for the current study (α = 0.89).
