Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A social distance scale measures the perceived emotional and societal distance between individuals or groups. It is used to determine how individuals feel about and relate to other social groups that they do not belong to. The scale usually ranges from 1 to 100, with higher numbers indicating greater social distance. The more distant individuals perceive a group to be, the less likely they are to interact positively with people from that group.
