I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
To calculate prejudice, sociologists use various quantitative methods and measurement tools. One common method is attitude surveys. These surveys ask individuals to respond to a series of questions or statements to assess their attitudes and beliefs about different racial, ethnic, or other social groups.
One way to obtain these surveys is by conducting a literature search using relevant keywords such as "prejudice measure" on academic databases or search engines. These searches can provide a list of potential sources, such as academic articles, that discuss different measurement tools and methods for assessing prejudice.
It is important to note that the links provided in the previous response may not be accessible or may have changed over time. However, conducting your own search using reliable sources can lead you to more accurate and up-to-date information on measurements used by sociologists to calculate prejudice.
Please remember to critically evaluate any source you use, considering factors such as the credibility of the author, the methodology used, and the peer-review process, to ensure the reliability and validity of the information you find.
