Anti-Semitism was measured through graded agreement with stereotyping statements

Evidence

The mass-production techniques' involved questionnaires consisting mainly of anti-Semitic statements. The longest questionnaire form contained fifty-two statements, including: Jews seem to prefer the most luxurious, extravagant, and sensual way of living’; The Jews should make sincere efforts to rid themselves of their conspicuous and irritating faults if they really want to stop being persecuted'; In order to maintain a nice residential neighborhood it is best to prevent Jews from living in it’. For each statement, three levels of agreement or disagreement were possible for the respondent, and the various degrees of anti-Semitism or anti-anti-Semitism were to be established in this way. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 385
