Attitudinal and Behavioral Effects of Initial Integration of White Suburban Neighborhoods

Hamilton, David L.; Bishop, George D.

Journal of Social Issues, 32, 2, 47-68, Spr 76

The research reported here investigated the response of white suburban home owners to the initial integration of their previously all white neighborhood. The study was designed to examine the extent to which interracial contact occurs, the behavioral reactions of the residents to the integration of their area, and corresponding changes in their attitudes towards blacks.
