Abstract

We aimed to initially create and validate a multi-item white supremacist/nationalist attitude scale. White supremacist/nationalist (WSN) scores formed a unidimensional, highly reliable measure, which exhibited sufficient variability. WSN scores also predictably correlated with various political and prejudicial outcomes. However, WSN scores exhibited a strong, perhaps redundant, relationship with racism measures.
