Abstract
The technique used by Katz and Braly was used with 100 Negro students. They displayed racial stereotypes highly similar to those possessed by white college students. The two groups agreed on these traits of Negroes: superstitious, lazy, happy-go-lucky, very religious, ostentatious, loud, and musical. They differed in that whites assigned to Negroes the adjectives ignorant, stupid, naive, slovenly, and physically dirty; whereas Negroes listed intelligent, progressive, faithful, and imitative. Propaganda is more influential in the formation of stereotypes than are personal face-to-face contacts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
