To advance social integration, policy makers strive for the educational desegregation of immigrant students in Flemish schools. Given the lack of empirical research supporting this policy, this article examines the association between the ethnic composition of schools and native and immigrant students' interethnic friendships, social…

Maintains that the Welch and Wilson studies cannot be directly compared due to differences in the larger universe from which the samples were drawn. Contends Welch's findings are an extension of his own, but questions his conclusion that desegregation implementation plans were a cause of declining white enrollment. (GEA)

Both black and white children's reactions to black adults are studies for how the status characteristics of adults and children affect adults' ability to raise a child's expectations of his own performance on school-like tasks. (Author/KM)

This paper describes an experimental field study in which an integrated summer school was created for the purpose of producing interracial status equality. (Author/DE)

Maintains that Franklin Wilson's 1985 finding that white flight resulting from school desegregation is short-term and unaffected by the nature of the plan is incorrect. Presents new data showing that the effects are long-term and depend mainly upon whether the plan is voluntarily implemented or enforced by the government. (GEA)

Relationships between classroom racial balance and third graders' interracial attitudes were analyzed. Interracial attitudes were more favorable in balanced than in unbalanced classes. Results suggest that classroom racial balance is strongly related to students' interracial attitudes. (Author)

The results of this research indicate that in the early 1960s racially mixed elementary schools raised both black and white achievement if nonwhites were a large minority, but they depressed black achievement if nonwhites were a small minority. Racially mixed secondary schools did not have much effect either way. (Author)

A national study showed that increased exposure of White pupils to Black pupils substantially affects the demography of school systems and leads to reductions in White enrollment. However, White enrollment losses appear to be short term, limited primarily to the year a desegregation program is implemented. (Author/RM)

A survey of 1,600 adult Negroes in northern metropolitan areas finds those who attended integrated rather than segregated schools are more likely to have had longer school attendance and score higher on a verbal test. Several reasons are offered as accounting for this effect of integration. (Author/DB)

The focus of integrated colleges on black students with higher SAT scores is effecting a redistribution of behavior styles and personality characteristics that contributes critically to campus environments, and deprives Negro colleges of those students who could make a very positive contribution. (Author/JB)

Tests the hypothesis that school racial segregation affects the ability of Black students to set reasonable occupational goals. Questionnaire data collected from male high school seniors suggest that Whites develop the most rational occupational goals, and segregated Blacks the least. Desegregated education leads to increasingly rational…

Presents results of a study to determine whether particular schools in desegregating districts were disproportionate contributors to declines in white enrollment during desegregation. Suggests that proportions of African-American and Hispanic pupils and the implementation of minor desegregation programs are all associated with decreased white…
