AB  - OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to develop and provide initial 
      psychometric support for the Racially Biased Reasoning Scale-Police 
      (RBias-Police). The vignette-based RBias-Police is designed to capture rigid 
      racially biased beliefs. The items focus on police interactions with people of 
      color as this is a particularly emotional-laden issue in the United States that 
      signifies deeper racial and social intolerance. METHOD: Data from a combined 
      sample of 1,156 participants were collected through Mechanical Turk for two 
      interrelated studies. In the first study, we used matrix sampling and exploratory 
      structural equation modeling to explore the factor structure of RBias-Police. In 
      the second study, we conducted confirmatory factor analysis and explored the 
      construct validity with theoretically relevant concepts. RESULTS: In Study 1, we 
      found that 10 items with three factors solution captured the data across each of 
      the six vignettes: (a) Minimization of Racism, (b) Target Apathy, and (c) Target 
      Blaming. In Study 2, findings from confirmatory factor analysis supported that 
      the three-factor model was a good fit to the data. The RBias-Police factors were 
      positively related to color-blind racial ideology and the general belief in a 
      just world in theoretically expected ways. CONCLUSIONS: Across two studies, our 
      findings provide initial psychometric support for the RBias-Police; this new 
      measure captures both affective and cognitive dimensions of biased reasoning.
