The long-term effects of ability grouping in mathematics
Stepping over the Color Line
This study of a school choice plan in St Louis, Missouri - which allowed black students to attend suburban schools - reveals the ugliness and beauty of race relations. It describes the resistance of suburban white educators and the courage of the black students who crossed the colour line
Perpetuation Theory and the Long-Term Effects of School Desegregation
For the last 30 years, the bulk of research on school desegregation has focused on the short-term effects of this policy on the achievement, self-esteem, and intergroup relations of students in racially mixed versus segregated schools. These research foci reflect a more psychological approach to understanding the goals and purposes of school desegregation, viewing it as a policy designed to save the hearts and minds” of African-American students …

Long-Term Effects of School Desegregation Experiences on Interpersonal Relations in the Israeli Defense Forces
Effects of school desegregation were assessed during basic training in the army. Soldiers completed cognitive, affective, and behavioral measures of interpersonal relations in their platoons. The pattern of current relations differed as a function of measure focus. Cognitive measures reflected asymmetry: Regardless of ethnic origin, all soldiers gave more positive evaluations to Western than Middle Eastern platoon members. Behavioral and affectiv…

Apprenticeship for Adulthood
Applicant Race and Job Placement Decisions
Net of controls for educational credentials, recommendations, age, high school quality, employment sector, firm size and region, white personnel officers tend to assign black male high school graduates to lower paying positions than those assigned to white male high school graduates in the USA. Similar patterns are observed for while female college graduates. The effect of job candidates' race on employers' job placement decisions is examined, us…

The Effect of Research Methodology on Desegregation-Achievement Studies
A meta-analysis of 323 samples of black students experiencing desegregation,derived from 93 research studies, finds two methological factors correlated with the measured effect of desegregation on academic achievement. First,studies of students who received only a partial treatment (i.e., began desegregation after they had completed one or more years of segregated schooling) find weaker treatment effects. Second, the type of control group used wa…

The Importance of Political Factors in Explaining Northern School Desegregation
This paper analyzes the factors influencing school desegregation in ninety northern school districts from 1964 through 1972. Using ordinary least squares multiple regression to estimate path coefficients, we compared the relative importance of socioeconomic and political factors in explaining the extent of policy output (the percentage of black and white reassignments) and its policy impact (the level of segregation remaining in the school system…
The Consequences of Controversy Accompanying Institutional Change
A survey of students and teachers in 175 Southern biracial high schools finds that community conflict early in the desegregation process is associated with lower racial tension and black student alienation a few years later. We hypothesize that this is because conflict creates stronger cohesion within the black community and greater support for school desegregation among blacks, which in turn lead to less tension in the schools. The data provide …

School Racial Composition and Black College Attendance and Achievement Test Performance
An aggregate regional regression analysis is used to examine the impact of high school racial composition on the achievement performance and college attendance and survival rates of 2,150 black students from 484 schools in a 1972 national longitudinal survey. The analysis shows that southern black students graduating from predominantly white high schools are less likely to attend and to survive in college. Southern black achievement is not relate…
Racial Tension in High Schools Pushing the Survey Method Closer to Reality
Assessing Race Relations in the Classroom
Court-ordered busing of students in order to achieve equal educational opportunity has dramatically altered the classrooms of inner-urban America. Forced together and expected to learn are disparate groups of children, each with differing cultural backgrounds and expectations for schooling. Within such a mixed-group context, what is "disadvantaged" for one culture may not be "disadvantaged" for another. Understanding the effects of schooling unde…

The Politics of Community Conflict
Community Status as a Dimension of Local Decision-Making
erence group support are consistent with previous research on a variety of samples. Positive reference group support influences both favorable attitudes and actions toward the attitude object. The attitudes and actions were also measured within the methodological specifications that have been found to result in modest positive correlations. The most effective measurement technique was used and the data on attitudes and actions were collected in s…
School Integration and Occupational Achievement of Negroes
American Negroes who attend integrated public schools have better jobs and higher incomes throughout at least the next three decades of their life. The differences in income cannot be accounted for by the higher educational attainment of alumni of integrated schools, or by the higher differences in social background. The most significant effect of integrated schooling is probably not "educational." It is probably more important that Negroes who a…
Fluoridation
The theory of interpersonal influence in the diffusion of innovation can be extended to deal with intercity influence when the adopting unit is a municipal government rather than an individual. The hypothesis received confirmation when tested using data on the adoption of fluoridation in the United States. Large cities, and cities with large white-collar populations were found to be most influential. The diffusion pattern over a ten-year period w…

School Integration and the Academic Achievement of Negroes
A survey of 1,600 adult Negroes living in northern metropolitan areas finds that those who attended integrated schools are more likely to have graduated from high school, are more likely to have attended college, and score higher on a verbal test than those who attended northern segregated schools. It seems likely that the higher achievement of Negroes in integrated schools can be attributed partly to differences in the character of their classma…

Subcommunity Gladiatorial Competition
This paper presents an analysis of the factors causing variation in the degree and character of civil rights leadership competition in 14 cities. Leadership competition is found to be closely linked with structural components of the Negro subcommunity. Organized competition is found in cities where leaders have several independent bases of support, while independent competition occurs where there is a weak community prestige structure. Also, evid…
