This script implements the Schedule of Racist Events (SRE), a questionnaire to assess the racial discrimination in the lives of African Americans by Landrine & Klonoff (1996).

4 minutes
Landrine & Klonoff (1996) describe the SRE as follows:
"The Schedule of Racist Events (SRE) is an 18-item self report inventory that assesses the frequency
of racist discrimination (specific, stressful racist events) in the past (recent racist events) and
in one's entire life (lifetime racist events) and measures the extent to which this discrimination
was evaluated (appraised) as stressful (appraised racist events)."
The items are asses on the following scale:
Select '1' = If this has NEVER happened to you
Select '2' = If this has happened ONCE IN A WHILE (less than 10% of the time)
Select '3' = If this has happened SOMETIMES (10%-25% of the time)
Select '4' = If this has happened A LOT (26%-49% of the time)
Select '5' = If this has happened MOST OF THE TIME (50%-70% of the time)
Select '6' = If this has happened ALMOST ALL THE TIME (more than 70% of the time)"
