A study of Negro pupils' attitudes toward whites

Since most of the research in the area of racial attitudes has been done with a view toward finding out what the whites attitudes are toward the Negro, this study attempts to approach the problem from a reversed point of view. In this reversed approach, cognizance is taken of the fact that most of the basic processes operating in other ethnic groups relationships are being considered here. Specifically, this study attempts to approach the problem by investigating the attitudes of a minority group -- the Negro -- toward a majority group -- the whites. The specific aims of this study are to: 1. investigate probable factors influencing the development of Negro pupils' attitudes towards white; 2. investigate the extent to which age, sex, and educational status influence Negro pupils' attitudes towards white; 3. analyze any special characteristics or conditions of the Negro pupils that might influence their attitudes towards whites.
