Summary:

Education should be conducted in an atmosphere in which the universal and recurrent emotional disturbances and repressive tendencies of childhood can be resolved as soon as they arise, and before they become chronic. A spotlighted issue of the times with which we find ourselves grappling in this study is that of reducing race prejudice. I wish to note at the outset, therefore, that the study was conceived and concluded not only before the Sputnik made a controversy of what should be going on in classrooms, but also before the Supreme Court made a controversy of with whom. The reader will find here a piece of action research. The "action" half of the study sought to fill a gap that in recent years has become an object of concern in the field of education. The "research" half of the study sought to fill a gap created but as yet unbridged by the many investigations of ethnic prejudice that have been prominent in social psychological journals over the past decade and a half. Part I, then, includes the description and evaluation of an educational method for deepening attitudes of self tolerance, and Part II includes the testing of hypotheses pertaining to concomitant changes in attitudes of ethnic tolerance. Since the setting of the study, its design, and procedure carry overlapping pertinence to both parts, these will be described first. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
