Reference: Landrine, H.,& Klonoff, E. A. (1996). The Schedule of Racist Events: A measure of racist discrimination and a study of its negative physical and mental health consequences. Journal of Black Psychology, 22(2), 144-168. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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)" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 4 minutes to complete __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'sre.iqdat' date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id build: the Inquisit build q*_response: response given (in assigned values) Scale: 1-6 q*_latency: how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited) (2) Summary data file: 'sre_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startDate: date script was run startTime: time script was started subjectid: assigned subject id number groupid: assigned group id number sessionid: assigned session id number elapsedTime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) SREscore_pastyear: the sum of all past year responses q1-q18 (Range: 18-108) SREscore_lifelong: the sum of all life responses q1-q18 (Range: 18-108) SREscore_stresslevel: the sum of all stress responses q1-q17 (Range: 17-102) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDITABLE CODE ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc. Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment.
