The Prejudice Perception Assessment Scale: Measuring Stigma Vulnerability among African American Students at Predominantly Euro-American Universities

Dorie J. Gilbert

University of Texas-Austin

Building on previous social-psychological studies, the Prejudice Perception Assessment Scale (PPAS) was developed to measure stigma vulnerability-the phenomenon of attributing negative, interpersonal feedback to prejudice in ambiguous situations-among African American students on predominantly Euro-American campuses. This article describes the methodological procedures followed in developing the PPAS, a brief scale composed offive vignettes aimed at assessing the extent to which participants tend to perceive prejudice as the cause of negative, interpersonal outcomes in ambiguous situations. Results from two studies with African American participants (N = 66 and N = 109, respectively) indicate that the construct of stigma vulnerability is conceptually similar but different from participants'general mistrust of Whites. The PPAS has good internal consistency and measures stigma vulnerability as a unidimensional variable.
