Abstract

The Racial-Ethnic Group Disadvantage Scale (REGDS) is a new brief (7-item) measure of general perceptionsof racial/ethnic group disadvantage, designed for use with multiple racial/ethnic groups in diverse geographicalcontexts. The scale measures the extent to which individuals believe that their racial/ethnic group has lowersocial status, fewer economic resources, and less political power than other racial/ethnic groups in society,combined with collective experiences of discrimination, social exclusion, and negative stereotyping. We reportthe results of several studies conducted with international and American college students (White, Asian-, Latino-,and African-American students), and present evidence establishing the reliability and validity of the REGDS,including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, criterion (known-groups) validity, and concurrent validity.
