An Exploratory Study of Undergraduates' Attitudes toward Affirmative Action Policies for Asian Americans in College
Hartlep, Nicholas Daniel; Lowinger, Robert Jay
Equity & Excellence in Education, v47 n3 p370-384 2014
This exploratory study examined white undergraduate students' (a) racial attitudes towards Asian Americans, (b) principled policy attitudes toward affirmative action, and (c) self-interest in relation to their support for college-based affirmative action policies for Asian Americans at a Midwestern university. A sample (n = 264, 28% male, 72% female) of white undergraduate students from a mid-sized public university in the Midwest was surveyed. The findings indicate that white undergraduate women have significantly more favorable principled policy attitudes toward affirmative action in general and for an affirmative action college policy for Asians, in particular, than do undergraduate males. Implications for issues of equity and social justice are shared.
