Title: Validity of Scores on the Attitudes toward Diversity Scale (ATDS)
Abstract: The Attitudes Toward Diversity scale (ATDS) was developed to measure the construct of attitudes toward diversity. It consists of 10 items representing each of three domains: attitudes toward diversity with regard to (a) coworkers, (b) supervisors, and (c) hiring and promotion decisions. To determine psychometric characteristics of scale scores, 349 full-time workers completed the instrument. Subjects included firefighters, police officers, first-line supervisors, technologists, clerical/secretarial workers, and managers. Confirmatory factor analysis indicates that the ATDS is three-dimensional, as hypothesized. Further analyses suggest that the scale has high internal consistency (a = .90) and is unaffected by a social desirability response style (r = -.09, n.s.).
