Group Evaluation Index
Respondents evaluated the target group according to four 7-point semantic-differential scales (foolish/wise, unfair/fair, threatening/nonthreatening, and dangerous/harmless). We used the mean of these items to create the group evaluation index (Cronbach’s α = .87, M = 5.17, SD = 1.63).
Tolerance for Extremists Index
Two statements, “the media should give extremist groups the opportunity to express their views” and “the media should not encourage extremist groups by providing news coverage” were used. Subjects rated their agreement with each statement using a 10-point scale, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” The second item was reverse-coded and averaged with the first item to create an index where a higher score means a more tolerant attitude (Inter-item r = .39, M = 6.56, SD = 1.99).
