Teaching nuns' perceptions of white and black pupils as a function of authoritarianism and other factors

Abstract

A sample of 283 teching nuns described the White Pupil, the Black Pupil, and the Ideal Pupil on an adjective description form. A Prejudice score was computed by subtracting the Ideal minus Black differences summed across 52 items from the Ideal minus White differences. Analyses based on 269 subjects revealed that neither age nor amount of prior contact with minorities predicted level of prejiduce. However, high and low-F-scale scorers differed significantly on the Prejudice score and on selected pupil perception factors. Implications in regard to training programs on racial attitudes were discussed.
