ASSESSMENT OF THE ATTITUDE OF DISCRIMINATION – A NEW RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
Abstract:
We intend to present in this article an electronic application, provided within the project
POSDRU/156/1.2/G/142145 “Medical Higher Education Oriented towards a Non-Discriminatory
Treatment of Patients”, through which the attitude of discrimination can be measured. The application
is an integrated tool that brings together scales measuring attitudes of discrimination in general, and,
specifically, the attitude of discrimination against various vulnerable groups, such as persons with
HIV/AIDS, persons with different sexual orientation, persons suffering from mental illnesses or members
of the Romani ethnic group. The application’s structure was built based on the results of the study of the
“Lucian Blaga” University students’ attitude towards discrimination, which was attended by 1 135
students aged between 18 and 48 years old. The application can be used in any area, valuing the attitude
of discrimination in the fight for equality and non-discrimination.
