520 |a This study investigated some of the attitudinal and behavioral components of racial prejudice in elementary school children. It also assessed the effectiveness of various modification procedures upon children's racial attitudes and inter-group behavior at different age levels. A four-stage research design was used. The pre-test stage involved administering three attitude measures (the Katz-Zalk Projective Prejudice Test; the Koslin Social Distance Scale; and the Friendship Questionnaire) in group form to all of the children in the second and fifth grades in two public elementary schools. One was in New York City, and the other was in a nearby suburban community. The city school was about 35% black and the suburban school was 25% black. High scoring white children were given a series of individually administered behavioral measures in a play session with black and white examiners. In the experimental phase, equal numbers of children at the two age levels were randomly assigned to a number of treatment-conditions or control groups. Two weeks after the experimental phase, the battery of attitude and behavioral indices were again administered, and re-administered again from four to six months later. In addition to age and treatment, race of the examiner was also systematically varied. The major finding of the study was that all experimental subjects (as a combined group) showed less prejudice than did the controls after a short term retest. (Author/AM)
