在社会科学研究中,基于肤色的歧视已被证明是一个相当大的问题。这项研究的大部分依赖于Likert类型的肤色评级,如Massey-Martin Scale(MMS)。学者们对这类标尺的测量误差提出了质疑。我们假设,一个人的肤色编码会根据之前编码的人的种族而变化。我们发现MMS容易受到溢出效应的影响:平均而言,如果一个人跟随一系列白人,那么他的皮肤被编码为更黑,而如果他被观察到跟随一系列黑人,则他的皮肤被编码为更黑。我们还复制了之前的工作,表明黑人和白人编码者使用标度的方式不同。最后,让程序员在编码时交叉引用调色板,而不是从记忆中调用调色板,既不能缓解编码竞赛,也不能缓解溢出效应。
Discrimination based on skin color has been documented as a considerable problem in social science research. Most of this research relies on Likert-type ratings of skin color such as the Massey-Martin Scale (MMS). Scholars have raised questions about measurement error in such scales. We hypothesize that the coding of a person’s skin color will vary depending on the race of persons previously coded. We find that the MMS is vulnerable to spillover effects: a person’s skin is coded as darker, on average, if he is observed following a sequence of White persons than if he is observed following a sequence of Black persons. We also replicate previous work showing that Black and White coders use the scale differently. Finally, having coders cross-reference the palette at the time of coding, rather than recalling the palette from memory, fails to mitigate either race-of-coder or spillover effects.
