True Tolerance: A Reexamination of Political Tolerance Survey Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
Three different survey methods are commonly used to measure political tolerance. While each method has its distinct advantages and disadvantages, many surveys continue to use questions on practical situations of tolerance to assess respondents’ political tolerance. These applications of tolerance questions, however, have numerous validity issues. Using any one question on tolerance demonstrates only the level of tolerance towards the act of a particular group, not necessarily the respondent’s overall level of tolerance. Therefore, I present a new measure that combines the results of multiple applications of tolerance questions to better approximate true levels of political tolerance among the general population. This measure was created based on a reexamination of the concept of political tolerance as a principled commitment to extend political rights to all people, regardless of their beliefs. I demonstrate through multiple analyses that this new measure is identifying truly tolerant respondents better than a single application of tolerance question. Using this measure, I find significantly lower levels of political tolerance than current methods.
