Abstract

The Racist Aggressions on Social Media (RASM) survey, with adapted scales to social media, was developed and tested. Results indicate that the instrument yields reliable and valid scores to measure the impact of racist aggressions encountered on social media by U.S. college students of color, and on their college experiences.
