Early and recent symbolic racism studies both measured the same four themes
Evidence
Both the earliest studies of symbolic racism (Kinder and Sears 1981; Sears and Kinder 1971) and the most recent (Henry and Sears 2002; Sears and Henry 2003; Sears, Henry, and Kosterman 2000) have measured all four themes. — Christopher Tarman and David O.
