Supplementary "Measuring intergroup attitudes is centrally important to social science. A tremendous amount of scholarship is devoted to understanding the content and source of these attitudes and their influence on behavior. In the study of American politics, white attitudes toward African Americans may be especially relevant, and a great deal of influential scholarship has focused on refining the techniques used to measure anti-Black prejudice. Perhaps no theory in this area has been more successful than 'modern racism' (Sears and Kinder, 1971; Kinder and Sears, 1981).
Theories of modern racism, also known as symbolic racism or racial resentment, were first postulated more than forty years ago in response to a shift in the expression of racial prejudice. As more explicit forms of prejudice began to fade, scholars identified a new set of racial attitudes, rooted in both anti-Black animus and the belief that Blacks violate traditional social values. In contrast to more traditional accounts of racism, in which overt prejudice is measured by support for racial stereotypes about Black inferiority, the new scales were devised to capture both the racial affect and social value judgments included in symbolic racial attitudes (Henry and Sears, 2002)."
