The racial attitudes of a group of white entering university freshmen were compared to those of their parents. The Situational Attitude Scale (SAS) developed to measure the attitudes of whites toward blacks, was administered to 229 incoming white freshmen at the University of Maryland and 78 of their parents during a summer orientation session. Questionnaires were completed anonymously and subjects were not aware that different forms of the SAS were used. Both forms were identical except that the word "black" was inserted into each situation in form B. Results indicated that white parents and students generally tend to have negative and generally similar attitudes toward blacks. The apparent exceptions of being positive was toward a black magazine salesman or a black policeman. Students, on a number of instances, were more positive to situations regardless of the race of the person in the situation. A 13 item bibliography and appendix of instructions and situations from the SAS are included. (MJM)
