Abstract

"Some subjects were allowed to succeed and others were arbitrarily failed on certain performance tests. Pretest, posttest, and change scores for attitudes towards minority groups failed to show any significant differences between the experimental groups. The findings are interpreted as casting doubt on the scapegoat hypothesis of prejudice." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
