Description
Definition
The Diversity Index was designed to measure a community's acceptance of people from different racial, ethnic, or cultural groups. Relationships with other Gallup Worldwide Research indexes indicate that citizens of countries with higher scores on the Diversity Index are more likely to be considered "thriving" and are more engaged in their communities. Individuals who live in accepting societies also report lower Corruption Index scores and higher Community Basics Index scores.
Countries that score highly on the Diversity Index also tend to rank more favorably on Freedom House measures of civil liberties and freedom of the press, have more parliament seats held by women, and rank higher on the United Nations gender empowerment value and Human Development Index.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- Is the city or area where you live a good place or not a good place to live for racial and ethnic minorities? (WP103)
- Is the city or areas where you live a good place or not a good place to live for gay or lesbian people? (WP105)
- Is the city or area where you live a good place or not a good place to live for immigrants from other countries? (WP106)
- Is the city or area where you live a good place or not a good place to live for people with intellectual disabilities? (WP10250)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record the following procedure applies: The four items are recoded so that positive answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers (including don't know and refused) are assigned a score of "0." If a record has no answer for an item then that item is not eligible for inclusion in the calculations. An individual record has an index calculated if it has valid scores for at least three items. A record's final index score is the mean of valid items multiplied by 100. The final country-level index score is the mean of all individual records for which an index score was calculated. Country-level weights are applied to this calculation.
RELIABILITY
The Diversity Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .74 when aggregated at the country level.
