Abstract
An experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship between changes in an individual's level of self-acceptance and his level of ethnic prejudice. The 50 participants of the Osgood Hill summer program in sensitivity training made up the experimental population, 1/3 of this population, randomly selected, served as an own control group. On the basis of these before-after data, it was shown that: (a) Significant increases in self-acceptance and decreases in prejudice result from sensitivity training; (b) a significant positive relationship exists between changes in self-acceptance and changes in prejudice.
