Elementary Magnet School Students' Interracial Interaction Choices.
Dickinson, Gerald B.; Holifield, Mitchell L.; Holifield, Glenda; Creer, Donna Grady
Journal of Educational Research, v93 n6 p391-94 Jul-Aug 2000
Investigated elementary students' interracial interaction preferences in four desegregated, urban magnet schools. Data from a sociogram of students' working, playing, and sitting choices indicated that black students were less willing than white students to interact. Racial considerations were more pronounced among girls. There was no trend toward higher percentages of students choosing to mix across racial lines. (SM)
