Hey /sci/, I got some research questions for you. I know most of you won't pretend to answer seriously but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways.
Background Info: please state your…
>1. Age
>2. Biological sex and gender identity
>3. Race
If you prefer not to disclose one or more of these pieces of information, simply state “I prefer not to say”.
Situation A: You are walking down the sidewalk. You notice that, up ahead, there is a person on the same stretch of sidewalk. They are walking towards you.
Questions pertaining to Situation A:
>1. Without any additional context pertaining to Situation A, what do you do (e.g., “keep walking”, “cross the street”, etc.)?
>2. Does your answer for Question A1 depend on the setting of Situation A (e.g., time of day, number of people within eye- or ear-shot)? How so?
>3. Does your answer for Question A1 depend on the (assumed) sex of the individual? How so?
>4. Does your answer for Question A1 depend on the (assumed) race of the individual (e.g., “black”, “white”, etc.)? How so?
>5. What other, if any, *visible* characteristics of the individual might affect your answer to Question A1?
>6. Without any regard for the connotation of the word “discrimination”, do you personally consider your answers to Questions A1-5 to be discriminatory (e.g., “racist”, “sexist”, etc.)? Why or why not?
>7. Of all the possible answers to Questions A1-5, which, if any, do you personally consider to be discriminatory?
>8. Given the spectrum of possible answers to Questions A1-7, what, if any, purely objective measures do you think can be used to determine whether or not an action is discriminatory, and to what degree?
Thank you for your time.
