É possível mensurar o racismo? Revisão de escopo de escalas traduzidas, adaptadas e construídas para o contexto brasileiro

Abstract

Introduction: The experience of racism is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. In Brazil, in 2023, there was an increase of over 50% in reports of racism and homophobia in police stations across the country. However, to date, there are few instruments translated and validated in the national territory that attempt to capture the experience of racism in all its complexity. General Objective: To systematize measures and scales related to the construct of racism, both those translated and adapted for the Brazilian context and those developed locally, aiming to provide a broad and detailed view of the tools available for the assessment and measurement of racism. Specific Objectives: (a) identify existing measures and scales used internationally to assess racism, analyzing those that have been adapted and applied in the Brazilian context; (b) map studies that have developed specific measures and scales to assess racism in Brazil, reviewing characteristics, applicability, and limitations; Methodology: identify, analyze, and contextualize instruments for assessing and measuring the construct of racism. This academic endeavor aims to map the available instruments in the Brazilian context, whether they are translated, validated, adapted, or locally constructed. Results: 08 instruments were selected. All of them underwent adaptations to the Brazilian context, however, they lack applications, and the results are not as satisfactory when considering the level of Brazilian complexity.
