Interracial Aggression: Behavioral and Attitudinal Variables.

The purpose of the study was to explore behavioral and attitudinal variables of interracial aggression. Forty black and forty white female undergraduates were used as subjects. Subject race, target race, and anonymity served as the independent variables. Shock intensity, shock duration, and anticipated intensity and duration served as the behavioral dependent variables, while subjects ratings of themselves, the target, Blacks, Whites, and several social issues were employed as the attitudinal dependent variables. Although no significant behavioral results were found, large ingroup-outgroup effects were observed for the attitudinal variables. Explanations of the results and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
