TTLE is known about, the origins, education, and training of Negro psychologists. Even less is known about the discrimination they have faced in the course of their professional careers. To obtain this kind of information, which would be valuable in itself and could also serve as a basis for recommendation to the Board of Directors of the APA, the Committee on Equality of Opportunity in Psychology undertook to survey psychologists in America who are Negro. 3 The findings reported below are the results of this survey. Because of the difficulty in obtaining information about race and discrimination, these findings must be taken as the best possible tentative answers under the present conditions to very complex problems. PROCEDURE;To obtain the names and addresses of Negro psychologists and graduate students currently working and 1 The authors acknowledge the contributions of Martin Dcutsch and Thomas Pettigrew, who were members of the Committee when the survey was begun, and to Harlcy Preston, at that time APA Administrative Officer for Public Affairs. The Committee also wishes to thank Doris Chandler for work beyond the call and Angus Campbell for a critical reading of the preliminary report.Reprints available from Wispc,

We investigated the value system of psychology and nonpsychology majors using a revised version of the Allport, Vernon, and Lindzey Study of Values. This abridged version of the test was administered to a heterogeneous sample of 125 undergraduates enrolled in a wide variety of psychology courses as well as 96 additional students enrolled in psychology sophomore and junior level psychological service courses. When students were more closely sampled for classes and rank, nonpsychology majors reported being more political than psychology majors on this instrument. However, limitations of sampling may have curtailed more robust differences. The importance of research on values for the teaching of undergraduate psychology is discussed.
