Journal of Higher Education, v72 n2 p172-204 Mar-Apr 2001
This multi-institution, longitudinal study investigated relationships between various experiences in the second and third years of college and students' openness to diversity and challenges to their beliefs and attitudes. The strongest positive influences on openness to diversity and challenge were precollege openness to diversity, student perceptions of a nondiscriminatory racial environment in the institution, and diversity of student acquaintances.
