What is it about?
Prejudice against people with Vitiligo is pervasive across societies. However, little attention has been given to measuring individual differences in the way that it is expressed. In this paper, we developed and validated the Scale of Prejudice towards People with Vitiligo (SPV). Results show that greater prejudice against Black people (vs. White) with the disease is found, and that the greater the social contact with this population, the lower its expression.

When combined, the findings presented in this paper are the first to document the correlational and experimental evidence of a measure of prejudice towards individuals with Vitiligo.
