This study was designed to examine factors related to |
|
prejudice among fourth grade children from an inner city |
|
area of Chicago. A total of 91 children were sampled, 60 |
|
from "low-performing" and 31 from "high-performing" |
|
fourth grade rooms. Thirty of the low-performing children |
|
were assigned to the experimental condition and 30 to the |
|
control condition. The basis for grouping subjects (Ss) |
|
into "high" and "low" groups were group IQ scores and |
|
third grade scores on the Metropolitan Reading Test. The |
|
measure of prejudice included several subtests dealing |
|
with separate minority groups; it was administered to all |
|
groups prior to treatment. Then a two-week training |
|
period was given to the experimental group; this included |
|
historical and cultural information about several |
|
minority groups. During the two weeks of treatment the |
|
experimental group received 30 minutes of this program |
|
each school day. Then both groups received the posttest. |
|
Statistical analysis revealed that prejudice among these |
|
children varied inversely with intelligence, that the |
|
treatment program decreased the prejudice of experimental |
|
group Ss, that minority children showed a prejudice |
|
against themselves, and that the feelings minority |
|
children have about themselves were affected by the |
|
treatment program. (Author/JM) |
