Development and Validation of the Privileged Social Class Attitudes Scale

In Development and Validation of the Privileged Social Class Attitudes Scale authors Amanda S. Case, Blake A. Allan, Patrick K. Murphy, and Ankita Nikalje examine social class theory and other models of privileged identities to create a scale to assess the social class attitudinal profiles of people with social class privilege. They develop core subscales and additional scales to reflect on various social class constructs to develop a tool that can be used by researchers and clinicians. Copyright: 2023
