This paper presents a novel Indigenous resentment scale to measure anti-Indigenous attitudes in settler-colonial societies. I draw from existing quantitative research on measuring outgroup attitudes, Indigenous philosophy, and settler-colonial scholarship to develop a concept and measure of settlers’ resentment toward Indigenous peoples (settlers’ “Indigenous resentment”) with high construct validity. I test the Indigenous resentment scale using original and nationally representative survey data. I conduct a reliability analysis and use statistical learning techniques to show that the Indigenous resentment scale is internally consistent and unidimensional, and has high theoretical construct validity. As I show, the Indigenous resentment scale is a strong predictor of social avoidance behaviors and significantly predicts opposition to government policies designed to help Indigenous peoples. I explain how the Indigenous resentment scale improves upon existing attempts to measure anti-Indigenous attitudes and discuss the usefulness of the scale in social scientific research.

本文提出了一种新颖的土著怨恨量表衡量定居者殖民社会中的反土著态度。我从现有的定量研究中测量外来群体态度，土著哲学和定居者的奖学金，以建立具有高度结构效度的定居者对土著人民（定居者的“土著怨恨”）的不满情绪的概念和衡量方法。我使用原始且具有全国代表性的调查数据来测试土著居民的怨恨量表。我进行了可靠性分析，并使用统计学习技术证明了土著居民的怨恨量表在内部是一致的和一维的，并且具有很高的理论构造效度。正如我所展示的，土著人的怨恨量表是社会回避行为的有力预测指标，并且可以显着地预测人们对旨在帮助土著人民的政府政策的反对。
