Classroom Climates and Students' Intergroup Behavior.
Serow, Robert C.; Solomon, Daniel
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n5 p669-76 Oct 1979
Observations were conducted in desegregated elementary school classes to determine the relationship between classroom conditions and pupils' interracial behaviors. Diffuse positive intergroup contacts were more likely to occur when teachers emphasized interpersonal concerns. Purposeful intergroup contacts were facilitated by teacher patience and by diversity in instructional arrangements. (Author/RD)
