Abstract
Ss with high scores on the Negro sub-scale of the Ethnocentrism Scale grouped figures cut from black and white felt separately by color. Low scoring Ss did not employ color grouping schemata. Other sets of figures contained a man with a rifle. Ss who employed aggressive schemata when organizing these groups gave more extrapunitive responses on the Rosenzweig P-F Study than did Ss who employed fewer aggressive schemata in the free organization situations. Specific acceptable aggression schemata were shown to have very high commonality while certain unacceptable schemata were almost entirely absent. There was no significant relationship between prejudice and aggression whether measured by verbalizations or by organizational schemata.
