The Scar of Race
The deepest obstacle to understanding the new politics of race—to recognizing what the conflicts over race are now about—is the universal, if unspoken, assumption that we already understand the place of race in contemporary America. The charge of covert racism has become commonplace. The notion of a covert racism has been developed by the new racism researchers as a part of their self-conscious critique of mainstream American values. This chapter…

Black Pride and Black Prejudice
Argues that black pride is not inconsistent with American pride, presenting the thoughts of African Americans on how they feel about each other and their country to reveal how African Americans as a group reject racial separatism and do not encourage prejudice toward non-black groups
The Outsider
The Outsider
One of the most wide-ranging studies of prejudice undertaken in a decade, The Outsider combines new research methods and rich analysis to upend many of our assumptions about prejudice. Noting that hostility toward immigrants has been on the rise throughout Western Europe, Paul Sniderman and his team conduct the first study of prejudice in Italy and offer insights applicable to nearly all countries worldwide. The study of prejudice, they argue, ha…
The Quality of the Quantity
One of the problems with survey data is the need to impute an interpretive frame for the data. Generally this frame is developed ad hoc (in the design of the instrument) and modified post hoc (in explaining findings, apparent contractions, and variances from ad hoc expectations). While statistical methods provide measures of data consistency and validity, they cannot interpret the understandings of respondents. This paper offers an outline for us…
Racial Prejudice and Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action
Theory: We examine the relationship between blatant racial prejudice and anger toward affirmative action. Hypotheses: (1) Blatantly prejudiced attitudes continue to pervade the white population in the United States. (2) Resistance to affirmative action is more than an extension of this prejudice. (3) White resistance to affirmative action is not unyielding and unalterably fixed. Methods: Analysis of experiments embedded in a national survey of ra…

Meeting the Challenge of Answering Machines
Answering machines have become one of the major challenges to obtaining high response rates in telephone surveys. This article presents some data that may be helpful in answering two questions that frequently arise: (1) What are the chances that additional calls to a household known to use an answering machine will result in a completed interview? (2) When is the best time to call, in order to minimize the chances of encountering an answering mac…
The New Racism
This study combines the methodological advantages of a fully experimental design and a genuinely representative survey sample to explore the nature and workings of contemporary racial prejudice. The correlational results both replicate and extend the findings of earlier work. Political conservatism, for example, was found once again to be correlated with opposition to policies to assist blacks and with support for negative images of blacks as laz…
Analysis of the Dynamics of Political Reasoning
The purpose of this article is to present a methodology for better gauging the nature and dynamics of social and political attitudes. Starting from a particular view of attitude assessment, we show how computer-assisted interviewing can help transform the survey interview from a passive to an interactive process. Since the ultimate test of a methodological approach is its substantive yield, we shall present both specific measurement procedures an…

The Analysis of Attitude Items
Surveys often include one or more sets of questions designed to measure a certain attitude. The usual strategy is to ask many such questions and to select the best ones for further analysis or scaling. Unfortunately, the common methods for selecting the best items are based almost exclusively on the correlations among the items themselves. Such methods cannot be counted on to select substantively meaningful and stable subsets of items, because th…
