Tolerance and Intolerance, 1976–1998

Abstract: Early students of political tolerance projected a rapid rise in levels of tolerance, but subsequent research has failed to offer conclusive evidence regarding whether tolerance has, in fact, increased. The General Social Survey (GSS) included the same 15 dichotomous tolerance items in the period 1976-1998, seemingly permitting assessment of trends in tolerance through examination of a standard 0-15 scale. Unfortunately, the validity of these data is uncertain because we cannot rule out the possibility that cha… Show more

“…The fact that in 2001 there were only 129 Black endowed professors in the country, with only 12 in the field of education, but by 2014 there were 51 such scholars in the field of education alone, shows that the society is gradually becoming tolerant. Mondak and Sanders (2003) note that in measuring intolerance using a scale ranging from 0 -15, with high scores representing intolerance, intolerance is declining in the United States, from 7.24 in 1977 to 5.28 in 1998 (27% decline) (pp. 493-494; also see Kaba, 2008).…”

“…People are politically tolerant if they are willing to allow full 'liberal democratic and political' rights to all others, for example the right of third-country nationals to demonstrate (Mondak and Sanders, 2003;Gibson, 2006). This kind of tolerance is often exemplified by the famous words erroneously ascribed to Voltaire: 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it' (cited in Finkel et al, 1999: 205).…”
