The final report on a behavioral research study conducted in Sacramento, California deals with some aspects of the cultural value systems of the Mexican American secondary and junior high school students in relation to their educational environment as compared to Anglo American students. The investigators attempted to identify areas of conflict common to Mexican American children but not common to Anglo American children of comparable ability and economic background. Utilizing an attitude scale, a word-association test, cumulative file data, and standard statistical analysis techniques with a population of 300 Mexican American and 300 Anglo American boys and girls, it was concluded that there are numerous significant differences between males and females of the 2 subcultures when related to teachers and the educational environment. Additionally, the investigators cited recommendations which they felt would tend to reduce areas of potential cultural conflict within an educational environment involving Mexican American secondary students.
