WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Tolerance Attitudes Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

ethnopsychology tolerance

This brief self-report measure is designed to assess attitudes related to social tolerance and acceptance of human diversity. The Tolerance Attitudes Scale can be used as a screening tool to characterize respondents’ perspectives toward people from different cultural, ethnic, or social backgrounds in educational or research settings.

The instrument includes 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are intended to elicit endorsement of tolerant versus intolerant attitudes; results are generally interpreted as an index of attitudinal openness and respect for out-groups rather than as a diagnostic indicator.

The Tolerance Attitudes Scale is attributed to Gordon W. Allport and Milton Rokeach. Scores should be interpreted in context, with attention to developmental level, setting, and potential response biases (e.g., social desirability), and may be used to inform group-level programming or to monitor attitudinal change over time.
