Evaluation of the prejudice towards immigrants: Argentine adaptation of the scale of subtle and blatant prejudice
Evaluación del prejuicio hacia inmigrantes: adaptación argentina de la escala de prejuicio sutil y manifiesto
Description
The aim of this article is to analyze the psychometric properties of the scale of Blatant and Subtle Prejudice, developed originally by Pettigrew and Meertens (1995), in the Argentine context. This scale has five dimensions: two that evaluate blatant aspects and three that measure subtle aspects of prejudice. We took self-selected non-probabilistic sample of 856 tertiary and university students from the cities of Córdoba (N= 253), Buenos Aires (N= 193), Salta (N= 200) and Neuquén (N= 210). A confirmatory analysis was performed in order to access the scale structure and the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was estimated to evaluate internal consistency. We also performed a convergent test through a correlation analysis between our scale and two variables whose correlation to prejudice was previously proven. The results supported the five dimensions structure proposed by the original authors, with 18 items and satisfactory internal consistency and validity indicators. In addition, favorable evidence of convergent validity was obtained.El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala de Prejuicio Sutil y Manifiesto desarrollada originalmente por Pettigrew y Meertens (1995), en el contexto argentino. Esta escala consta de 5 dimensiones; dos que evalúan aspectos manifiestos y tres que miden aspectos sutiles del prejuicio. Se trabajó con una muestra de 856 estudiantes terciarios/as y universitarios/as de las ciudades de Córdoba (N= 253), Buenos Aires y Gran Buenos Aires (N= 193), Salta (N= 200) y Neuquén (N= 210), seleccionados/as a partir de un muestreo no probabilístico autoelegido. Se realizó un análisis confirmatorio en busca de evidencia de estructura, se estimó el coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach para evaluar la consistencia interna y se realizó un análisis de validez convergente en relación a variables cuya relación con el prejuicio fue probada con anterioridad. A partir de los resultados se retuvieron 18 ítems que replican las cinco dimensiones propuestas por los autores originales con indicadores de consistencia y validez interna satisfactorios. Además, se obtuvo evidencia favorable de validez convergente.
