An Attitudinal Analysis of Air Force Race Relations Training.

The training which is the subject of this thesis is the 18-hour course of instruction which is required, on an annual basis, for all Air Force military personnel. An attitude questionnaire was used to determine racial attitude indexes of subjects who had just completed the training and of a control group who had not been exposed to the course. Only blacks and whites were compared in attitudinal tendencies, and the only other division was between commissioned officers and enlisted personnel. Overall results of the study indicated a slightly positive difference in racial attitude on the part of the persons who attended the training. (NTIS)
