Of these, 79.8% indicated the community in which they were raised was “All White” or “Mostly White,” while 20.2% indicated the community in which they were raised was “Mixed” (19%) or “Mostly people of color” (1.2%). With regard to combined household income, 39.2% were in the $100,000+ range, 47.6% were in the $50,000-to-$99,999 range and 11.9% reported a household income of $49,999 or less. In order to avoid potential response set bias, items 6, 8 and 9 were worded so that a lack of awareness, or denial, of White privilege would result in responses endorsing the “False” end of the spectrum. All other questions were worded to reveal a lack of awareness, or denial of, White privilege by endorsing responses on the “True” end of the spectrum. In order to simplify data interpretation, items 6, 8 and 9 were reverse-scored prior to analysis. With regard to the reliability of the 10item self-report (see Table 1 for list of items), Cronbach’s alpha was computed for Time 1 (beginning of the semester) and Time 2 (end of the semester). Of note, one item “Having a volunteer army is racist” was deleted from the computation of Cronbach’s alpha, because it was a theme not consistently covered over the four years of data collection. Cronbach’s alpha at Time 1 was .68 and at Time 2 was .77. One possible explanation for the increase in Cronbach’s alpha over Introduction |
