Rezension zu „Measuring Race and Ethnicity “
From the reviews:"The inspiration for Measuring Race and Ethnicity was Robinson and Shaver's (1969) classic text, which entailed a collection of social-psychological scales categorized into the major areas of social psychology (e.g., attitudes, values, interpersonal relationships). ... Measuring Race and Ethnicity is essentially an almanac of racial and ethnic measures. ... the volume, breadth, and level of detail provided for scales across multiple ethnic groups still make this a very useful resource for researchers interested in the measurement of ethnicity and race-related phenomena." (Richard D. Harvey and Cathryn D. Blue, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 56 (17), April, 2011)
