For the purpose of determining whether the trait concept of “prejudice” is usable in the communication of meaning, representative samples of the responses of 101 ninth-grade children were submitted to a diverse group of 20 judges who were requested to rank 11 series of the responses in accordance with the amount of prejudice they were judged to exhibit. The usability, or use-value, of the concept is conceived as the extent to which the judges can agree in their ratings and is expressed in terms of the average intercorrelation of such ratings. It is shown that a null hypothesis of no use-value ( ?~=0 ) is untenable. The data further suggest that the concept of “prejudice” tends to have its highest use-value in situations where the factor of prejudice is commonly considered to be a matter of serious social concern.
