Methods to Uncover Attitudes of Discrimination

Abstract | This paper aims to study the mechanisms used to uncover attitudes of discrimination. Two primary methodologies used in the field are distinguished: the audit and the correspondence approaches. By examining the available literature, the paper highlights the significance of field experiments in revealing pervasive discrimination against marginalized groups in various contexts, including employment, housing, and education. The correspondence approach, in particular, has produced a substantial body of evidence demonstrating persistent biases against minorities, prompting important discussions among researchers, policymakers, and in the media. However, while the findings underscore the need for continuous examination of discriminatory practices, the paper identifies a concerning stagnation in methodological innovation within the correspondence approach. Most studies still rely on fictitious CVs, limiting the complexity of real-world interactions captured in these experiments. The paper argues for the necessity of methodological diversity and collaboration across disciplines to enhance the understanding of discrimination mechanisms, ultimately informing public policy and fostering equitable treatment for all individuals. |
