The development of an instrument measuring attitudes toward black American patients using a semantic differential technique is described. Subjects were 242 white senior students enrolled in baccalaureate degree, associate degree, and diploma nursing programs. The instrument consisted of 20 bipolar adjective scales for positive and negative racial stereotypes. A factor analysis resulted in five factors which accounted for the majority of the variance, with 30.2% for Factor I Evaluation. An alpha reliability of .84 for the same factor revealed a high level of internal consistency. To obtain an attitude score, the eight bipolar adjective scales comprising Factor I were summed and the scores obtained were in the neutral range. There were no significant differences among the attitudes of baccalaureate degree, associate degree, or diploma nursing students. Comparisons also were made between the perceptions of students toward black Americans and toward black American patients, with the latter perceived more favorably.
本文描述了一种使用语义差异技术来测量对美国黑人患者态度的工具的开发过程。研究对象为242名就读于学士学位、副学士学位和文凭护理项目的白人高年级学生。该工具由20个用于测量积极和消极种族刻板印象的双极形容词量表组成。因子分析得出五个因子，它们占方差的大部分，其中因子I“评价”占30.2%。同一因子的α信度为0.84，表明内部一致性水平较高。为了获得态度得分，将构成因子I的八个双极形容词量表的得分相加，得到的分数处于中性范围。学士学位、副学士学位或文凭护理专业学生的态度之间没有显著差异。还比较了学生对美国黑人与对美国黑人患者的看法，结果显示对后者的看法更为积极。
