The dignity index Utah pilot project technical summary

UNITE, a national initiative to ease divisions, prevent violence, and solve problems, began work on the Dignity Index in early 2021. The Index is an eight-point scale that measures the level of contempt or dignity in a selected passage of speech. Lower scores (1-4) reflect a lack of dignity and the presence of contempt, with the lowest score (1) showing the most contempt. The higher scores (5-8) reflect language grounded in dignity, with the highest score (8) showing the most dignity.1
