SCHOOL integration, ATTITUDE (Psychology), HYPOTHESIS, SOCIAL groups
Abstract
The hypothesis that radical segregationist sentiment is unevenly distributed within a city is partially confirmed by a study of attitudes in Norfolk, Virginia. Attitude toward school desegregation is found to differ significantly by social area type as defined by the Shevky-Bell scheme. The study also reveals the large size and stability of the moderate group on this issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
