本文的目的是鼓励一项研究议程，关注在社会调查中衡量自我感知的种族和民族歧视的方法论考虑。为此，作者比较了替代歧视措施的有效性。第一个衡量标准询问是否由于种族和民族而发生了不公平或糟糕的事情，而第二个衡量标准则询问与种族或民族归因无关的一般不公平事件。在 1995 年对居住在底特律大都市区的 586 名黑人受访者进行的概率样本调查中发现，自我感知的种族和民族歧视的普遍程度取决于问题框架。此外，不同的受访者可能对明确的歧视措施和一般的歧视措施做出肯定的反应；重要的是，自我感知的种族和民族歧视对心理健康的影响因问题框架的不同而不同。结果证实，自我感知歧视的患病率、相关性和心理影响应根据测量敏感性进行评估。
The aim of this article is to encourage a research agenda that attends to methodological considerations regarding measuring self-perceived racial and ethnic discrimination in social surveys. Toward this end, the author compared validity of alternative measures of discrimination. The first measure asks whether something unfair or bad has happened because of race and ethnicity, whereas the second measure asks about generic unfair events independent of attribution to race or ethnicity. In a probability sample of 586 Black respondents living in the Detroit metropolitan area interviewed in 1995, it was found that the prevalence of self-perceived racial and ethnic discrimination depended on question framing. Moreover, different respondents were likely to respond affirmatively to explicit versus generic measures of discrimination; importantly, the mental health consequences of self-perceived racial and ethnic discrimination varied by question framing. The results confirmed that the prevalence, correlates, and psychological impact of self-perceived discrimination should be evaluated on the basis of measurement sensitivity.
