A large body of social science research is devoted to understanding the causes and correlates of discrimination. Comparatively less effort has been aimed at providing a general prevalence estimate of discrimination using a nationally representative sample. The current study is intended to offer such an estimate using a large sample of American respondents (N = 14,793) while also exploring perceptions regarding why respondents felt they were discriminated against. The results provide a broad estimate of self-reported discrimination experiences-an event that was only reported by about one-quarter of all sample members-across racial and ethnic categories.
大量社会科学研究致力于理解歧视的成因及相关因素。相对而言,利用具有全国代表性的样本对歧视进行总体流行率估计的研究较少。本研究旨在通过大量美国受访者样本(N = 14,793)提供这样一种估计,同时探讨受访者认为自己受到歧视的原因。结果提供了对自我报告的歧视经历的广泛估计——这一事件仅在所有样本成员的约四分之一中被报告——涵盖了不同种族和族裔类别。
