摘要

种族歧视是一个多维度的概念。然而，种族歧视的主观衡量侧重于特定维度(人际关系而不是制度，可归因而不是模糊归因)。我认为，在主观测量的发展和验证中存在路径依赖，例如，现有的量表阻碍了对某些目的更好的量表的发展。路径依赖可能发生在研究者:(1)采用连贯的测量观，即迭代地提炼构念和测量;(2)采用当前的心理测量验证实践。主要的收获是需要规范来评估构造的初始细化，而不是认为它是理所当然的。

Path-Dependence in Measurement: A Problem for Coherentism

Abstract Racial discrimination is a multi-dimensional concept. Yet, subjective measures of racial discrimination focus on particular dimensions (interpersonal over institutional, attributable over ambiguously attributable). I argue that there is path dependence in the development and validation of subjective measures, such that existing scales prevent the development of scales that are better for some purpose. Path dependence can occur when researchers: (1) adopt a coherentist view of measurement, namely, in iteratively refining constructs and measures and (2) employ current psychometric validation practices. The main take-away is that norms are needed to evaluate the initial refinement of the construct rather than taking it for granted.
