“…The instrument included questions related to possible informatives or communicatives, such as religiofi, ethnicity, race, income and education of self and parents, occupations of parents, place and region of origin, political preference, recreational preference, and marital status. Attitudes were measured using Likert-type scales for which norms had already been reported, and which were salient to the apprentices'situation in the Navy (Robinson, Thanasiou, & Head, 1969;Robinson, Rusk, & Head, 1972;Robinson, & Shaver, 1969;Stoloff et al, 1973;Thornton, Hamilton, & Nealey, 1973). Withey's (1965) "Dimensions of Values" scales were among those used in the assessment.…”

“…Race relations and satisfaction-with-the-Navy scales were utilized from Stoloff et al (1973), and items were adapted from Thornton et al (1973) for scales related to satisfaction with training. Individual items were included measuring attitudes toward Navy rules and regulations, the importance of primary groups to the respondent, conflict in training units, perception of cliques within the respondent's unit, and a few other particular aspects of recruit training.…”

In a large-scale field experiment, data were collected on proximity, demographic and attitudinal similarities, and frequency of interaction of strangers and acquaintances in a situation of free choice. The results of the log linear analysis show that while previous acquaintance and proximity have a strong effect on frequency of interaction, demographic and attitudinal similarities have only a smaIIeffect. AN these factors together do not account for the observedfrequencies of interaction. Future models of early periods of interaction must utilize other factors in addition to those common in research on interpersona[ attraction.Why, in a situation of free choice, does a person choose to talk to one person rather than another? Few scholars have sought to answer this question. Instead of focusing on the decision to communicate, investigators have focused on the relations among attraction and such variables as proximity, and demographic or attitudinal similarity. (For recent summaries of this research see Duck [1977] and Huston and Levinger [1978].) In their classic study of group norms Festinger, Schachter, and Back (1950, p. 153, 155) concluded that a necessary first step in the making of a friendship is "a contact between two peop1e"and that more frequent contacts are associated with friendship. Their primary explanation of contact was based on proximity, especially functional distance. While contact is not synonymous with communication, contact appears to assume its occyrrence. Yet it is unlikely that Richard E. Sykes (Ph.D., University of Minnesota, 1966) is a professor of speechcommunication and a member of the graduate faculties in sociology and in American studies at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455. 27

“…The military has been most notable in its consistent attention to the measurement of racism and racial climate, particularly during the 1970s. During that period, four instruments were developed to measure racism, discrimination, racial attitudes, and backlash racial attitudes (Borus, Stanton, & Doud, 1972;Hiett, McBride, & Fiman, 1978;Nordlie & Thomas, 1974;Stoloff, Lockman, Allbritton, & McKinley, 1972). The most recent instrument, the Racial Attitudes and Perceptions Survey (Hiett et al, 1978), combined many of the items from the earlier three instruments.…”

Measuring Racial Climate in Schools of Social Work: Instrument Development and Validation

Objective: This article reports the initial validation of an instrument designed to measure racial climate in programs and schools of social work. Method: An unduplicated sample of students from one school of social work (N = 182) responded to a survey of racial climate. Psychometric analyses were computed to determine the reliability and validity of the instrument's scales. Results: The scales attained high levels of internal consistency reliability, had a stable factor structure for the items as they were hypothesized, and performed well in preliminary analyses of convergent construct and known-groups validity. Conclusions : The results provided initial evidence of internal consistency reliability and content, construct, factorial, and known-groups validity.As the 21st century unfolds, the composition of the United States will be characterized by increasing racial and ethnic diversity. For instance, Buford (1999) wrote that 10 years ago business was primarily White and male but that this is changing rapidly with White males projected in the future to make up only 15% of entrants into business. Kipp (1998), in forecasting demographic changes in relation to the Pell Grant program, noted that by the year 2010 approximately 32% of the U.S. population will be composed of a variety of ethnic and minority groups.Other professions, including education and business, are intensifying their responses to these forecasts by developing and enhancing courses or training in culturally sensitive practice (Buford, 1999;Kailin, 1998;Nagel, 1998). Social work and the other helping professions, on the other hand, have a history spanning at least from the Progressive Era (1898-1918) of examining the influence of race on a number of aspects as these relate to clients of racial or ethnic diversity (Carlton-LaNey, 1999). Social work and the helping professions have continued to examine race as it affects the family and family relationships, the workforce and workplace interactions, and culturally relevant practice with clients (Anderson, 1998;Baer, 1999;Copeland, 1996;Gant, 1996;Goodman, Getzel, & Ford, 1996;Herz & Ferguson, 1996;Hollingsworth, 1998;Poindexter & Linsk, 1999;Schiele, 1996;Stevens, 1998). A strengths-oriented approach to practice with clients of diversity became more prevalent over time as more information emerged about cultural and racist influences on the well-being of individuals and families (
