| Summary: | The present work is an attempt to assess whether religious teachings within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon Church) are generating unique secular racial tolerance or intolerance toward Negroes, American Indians, and/or Mexican Americans. Secular racial attitudes were assessed by a special measure of group tolerance especially developed for this research. The subject populations include one high school and one college in Utah and two high schools and two colleges in California (total N=616). The major differences between schools were their geographical locations and the religious preferences of the students. The two Utah schools were from 94% to 96% Mormon while the California schools were less than 1% Mormon. The data indicated that Mormons as compared to others in the "general culture" are not significantly different in their secular racial attitudes. |
