- Summary:
-
An examination of approximately 400 New Haven, Connecticut sixth graders using a modified social distance scale and race questionnaire measured student attitudes towards different ethnic and racial groups. The group interview questionnaire was given to a racial and ethnic cross section of students in nine different schools. Students were asked to give their reactions to 30 different ethnic groups according to the 3 different relationship of classmate, playmate, and neighbor. The investigation lists 29 conclusions. The racial attitude tolerances cited are reflective of the racial mix of the schools, the achievement level of the students, and the type of social relationship in question. There is no significant variation between male and female students towards the different ethnic or racial groups. Individual groups react in various ways to the different possible ethnic terms as applied to their group, and as applied to other groups. The document includes a sample questionnaire, listings of mean tolerance scores towards ethnic groups by school and by ethnic group, and mean scores by schools for social distance groups. (PPB)
