School Control and Intergroup Relations

In: Social science quarterly, Band 65, Heft 1, S. 150-157

Abstract

Citing a previously described database (see Longshore, Douglas, "School Racial Composition and Intergroup Hostility," PhD dissertation, U of California, Los Angeles, 1981; & SA 31:1/83M7512 & 31:2/83M9211), 3 school context variables are tested as predictors of white students' intergroup relations: staff racial composition, busing, & classroom resegregation. None predicts intergroup relations by itself, but each interacts with school racial composition. Implications for the concept of racial control & for future research are discussed. 2 Tables, 20 References. Modified HA.
