Abstract

The BE-scale was developed to provide a measure of ethnocentrism relevant to the contemporary situation in Britain. It was constructed by a procedure reflecting the viewpoint of the response-style advocates and standardized on a small sample in Sheffield. A replication study has been carried out in Glasgow.

The shortcomings of the scale stem largely from the use made of negatively worded items.
