Love Thy Neighbour: How Much Bigotry Is There In Western Countries?
借鉴贫困度量方法，提出衡量国家偏见的指数，基于调查数据对西方国家进行偏见排名，并分析影响偏见的因素。
SUMMARY Borrowing from the well known measures of poverty, we propose analogous measures for the amount of prejudice in a country. Values of this index are derived from individual responses to the Human Beliefs and Values Survey's question: ‘Would you like to have persons from this group as your neighbours?’ We use data on the responses to (i) construct measures for the amount of bigotry in a country and rank Western countries on a bigotry scale; (ii) examine the social and economic factors which determine whether people are bigoted or bigotry‐free; (iii) examine three specific phobias to see whether the strength of the ‘bigotry‐determining factors’ varies according to the group being considered.
