      ab: Borrowing from the well known measures of poverty, we propose analogous measures for the amount of prejudice in a country. Values of this index are derived from individual responses to the Human Beliefs and Values Survey's question: ‘Would you like to have persons from this group as your neighbours?’ We use data on the responses to (i) construct measures for the amount of bigotry in a country and rank Western countries on a bigotry scale; (ii) examine the social and economic factors which determine whether people are bigoted or bigotry-free; (iii) examine three specific phobias to see whether the strength of the ‘bigotry-determining factors’ varies according to the group being considered.
