The report gives the results of a pilot study on the attitudes of children concerning international topics. By use of a tightly structured questionnaire presented orally to children in grades 1 through 7, the author attempted to arrive at tentative findings concerning how attitudes toward other peoples and nations are formed and what role language plays in this formation. The results were: 1) the group membership of the child influences the attitudes held; 2) a relationship between the international attitudes and the cognitive process; 3) native language has an influence on the formation of attitudes toward other peoples and nations; and, 4) attitudes already held toward subjects of interest to the children influence the formation of international attitudes. Recommendations for further study are included along with a review of the literature, and a sample questionnaire. (CWB)
