Behavioral Criteria in Research and the Study of Racism: Performing the Jackal Function. Part II.

Abstract

The first year of the project was spent in the design and implementation of the pilot study. The specific objectives of the pilot study were: (1) to test the validity of the conceptual model, (2) to refine the conceptual model, (3) to pilot test research instruments to determine their appropriateness for measuring behavioral expressions of racism, (4) to employ strategies that would elicit racially-specific behaviors, (5) to identify behavioral indicators of racism, (6) to specify configurations of racial legitimizing and delegitimizing behaviors (behavioral criteria) and the conditions under which they occur, and (7) to measure the impact of the slide presentation 'Return to the Source' by behavioral and attitudinal change. The first part of Technical Report II contains the description, assumptions, instruments, analyses and interpretation of results from the inter-ethnic relations pilot study. In part II, the legitimation coding scheme derived from the pilot study data is presented. The hypotheses, assumptions, research design, methods, statistical procedures for analysis of the present study are specified.
