Additional evidence is presented in support of hypotheses concerning how credibility, threat, & attitude toward blacks contribute to positive & negative evaluations of protest-oriented black student organizations among white U students. The relations between 3 antecedent variables, general attitudes toward blacks, perceived threat, & credibility, & a dependent variable, evaluation of a protest-oriented black student organization, are explored on a U campus in a small Ru community. Data were collected from a random sample of 1,205 white single students living on campus & enrolled at Washington State U in 1969. The results suggest that the indicators of general ethnic attitudes are related, though differentially, to the indicators of credibility & perception of threat, & to negative evaluation of the Black Student Union. Indicators of threat are related to those of credibility, & negative evaluation of the BSU. Multiple-partial r coefficients are employed to evaluate the underlying assumptions in the model. 3 Tables, 1 Figure. R. Lent.

A study which attempts: (i) to provide information about the nature of student att's favorable to racial discrimination, & (ii) to synthesize & extend certain theoretical models developed in previous res about the antecedents of racial discrimination. reviewed briefly. Each of the independent variables was linked with 'tendency to discriminate' to produce 13 separate hyp's. Data were collected from a HSch & its satellite junior HSch in a small industr city in the Pacific Northwest. Pearsonian r coefficients between the dependent & independent variables are presented in Table I. The results indicate that among whites, 8 variables are signif'lyr'ed with an att'al tendency to discriminate; in order of strength: prejudice, perceived nonconformity, soc pressures from parents, fear of future competition, pol'al separatism, anxiety about racial conflict, assaultiveness, & equal status contact. Among blacks only 3 of the hyp'ed relationships received support: soc pressures from parents, prejudice, & perceived instit'al discrimination. The results highlight the importance of negative stereotypes in influencing discriminatory att's of white HSch students, as indicated by the direct association between tendency to discriminate & both prejudice & perceived nonconformity.
