Abstract	[T]his chapter represents an effort to contribute to the understanding of attitudes towards refugees, by arguing for the need to develop better measurements that enable to identify specific groups in need of intervention. Without more specific attitude measurements, the effectiveness of such interventions is difficult to assess. We first highlight why attitudes are important, and then show what the limitations of current scale development practices are for measuring attitudes using an example from the latest cycle 2016 of the International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS 2016). Next, we show how developing a scale with intermediate items could help deal with some of the current limitations, and why these scales yield a different distribution of attitudes towards refugees on a sample of secondary students. We finally draw some implications for attitude measurement and suggest future lines of research. (Orig.).
