The comparative analysis of students' attitudes included Mexican American, Anglo, and Asian students (from Thailand, Taiwan, and the Philippines). A Likert scale was used to measure all attitudes. All analysis performed utilized cross tabulation and chi square. The attitudes studied were reasons for going to college; concept of an educated person -- whether they should have a technical orientation or a broader interest in life; student versus professional orientation of professors; and student-professor distance. Asian students appeared to be more collectively oriented than U.S. students, and also thought the educated person should have a broader orientation in life. Both Asian and U.S. students favored professors' attitudes being more student than professionally oriented. Asian students did perceive more distance between themselves and their professors. No significant differences were found between Mexican American and Anglo students' attitudes toward education. Socioeconomic status, as measured by occupation, education, and income, did not appear to influence the reasons students have for going to college and was not related to other attitudes. Neither sex, nor rural/urban residence, were related to attitudes toward education. (Author/KM)
