Abstract

Race prejudice approach is inadequate to define intergroup and race relations. Scientific formulations do not warrant the degree of precision ascribed to the operation of prejudice or the importance frequently give it as a predictive factor in social change. A two-category hypothesis of prejudice is suggested: (a) prejudice having its source in a personality type and (b) prejudice as a body of attitudes derived from adventitious sources. The latter are held especially important in the prognosis of constructive change, for they derive from social and cultural influences and are modifiable quantities. Implications for a strategy of race relations, centering upon public policy and institutional reform, are drawn.
