Microaggressions and social cohesion in the City of Tshwane

The data entails responses to an existing and slightly adapted questionnaire, using the racial and ethnic microaggressions scale (REMS) which had been conducted in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality.  Items were added to also measure experience of social cohesion.  Open ended questions added to the instrument, provided respondents' views on diversity initiatives, what the instument aimed to measure, as well as perceptions of microaggressions in the municipality.  A concurrent/embedded  mixed method approach was followed. Quantitative data was analysed  using IBM SPSS Amos v27, which is a statistical structural equation modelling (SEM) programme used to test relationships between observed and latent variables.  Open ended questions were analysed by means of a themantic analysis.

本数据集包含了对现有问卷的响应，以及经过轻微改编的种族和民族微侵犯量表（REMS），该量表曾在茨瓦内都会市进行过测试。数据集新增条目以衡量社会凝聚力的体验。问卷中增加了开放式问题，以收集受访者对多元化倡议的看法、工具旨在测量的目标，以及对市政当局中微侵犯现象的认知。研究采用了并行/嵌入式混合方法。定量数据通过IBM SPSS Amos v27进行分析，该软件是一款统计结构方程模型（SEM）程序，用于检验观测变量与潜在变量之间的关系。开放式问题则通过主题分析方法进行解读。
