Abstract
An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that increases in self-acceptance, resulting from sensitivity training, have the the oretically predictable but indirect effect of reducing an individual's level of ethnic prejudice. The role of an individual's level of psychological anomy,3 hypothesized to condition the influences of sensitivity training, was also examined. The results suggest that sensitivity training may well be a powerful technique in the reduction of ethnic prejudice, particularly among those who are low in psychological anomy.Keywords
