The Racial Microaggressions Scale

The Racial Microaggressions Scale is a tool used to measure subtle, often unintentional signs of bias or prejudice against people of different races. These microaggressions can include comments, behaviors, or assumptions that, while seemingly minor, can accumulate and negatively impact individuals’ sense of belonging and well-being. The scale helps identify these everyday experiences to better understand their frequency and impact, highlighting how seemingly small acts or words can convey underlying discrimination or bias. Recognizing these microaggressions is an important step toward fostering more inclusive and respectful environments.
