- Summary:
-
Students from introductory speech classes at the University of Illinois and Parkland Community College were asked to list their attitudes about four groups: businessmen, farmers, politicians, and war protesters. The strengths of those beliefs were evaluated via seven internal semantic differential scales. The sum of the scales served as a first measure of the attitudes the subjects held toward the four groups. In later tests, the subjects randomly assigned to the control group were given the original attitude questionnaire again, while the experimental group was tested in other ways for acceptance of various beliefs about the four role and occupational types. Finally, the subjects in the experimental test group were examined for their attitudes toward the role and occupational types to check for changes in attitudes from the first examinations. The resulting data indicated that attitudes can be made salient without being made stronger. (EE)
