Development and validation of the Perceived Online Racism Scale short form (15 items) and very brief (six items)

The Perceived Online Racism Scale (PORS) provides important contemporary information in better understanding the experiences of racism in today’s digital society. However, the utility of the 30-item PORS may require lengthy addition to study surveys. Especially for large survey batteries (e.g., epid...
