Wang, Alvin Y.
Adolescence, v29 n114 p279-91 Sum 1994
Compared gang versus nongang high school students along measures of self-esteem, racial attitudes, and self-professed role models. Results from 78 white and 77 black students revealed that gang members had significantly lower levels of self-esteem compared to nongang peers. All students, regardless of ethnicity, manifested negative racial stereotyping toward racial outgroups. (Author/NB)
