Abstract

"A picture story technique designed to measure the attitudes of whites in New Zealand towards Maoris was employed to investigate the development of ethnic attitudes in relation to age, and contact between whites and Maoris of approximately equal status." Ss in schools in different parts of New Zealand with differing densities of Maori population showed common increase in unfavorable attitudes towards Maoris between the ages of 8 and 12. Between the ages of 12 and 16, Ss exposed to greater number of Maoris who had been assimilated into the local Caucasian culture showed significantly less unfavorable attitudes.
