Several persons in this study have not faced any humiliation based on race prejudice. Of those who have had such humiliating experiences, the average age for the first experience was eleven for both the delinquent boys and the non-delinquent boys and girls. The average age at which the adults received a first humiliation was twelve. The most common effect with the adults and the non-delinquent children was resentfulness; with the delinquent boys the most frequent effect was mixed emotional states as sadness, regret, fear, pain, etc. The most frequent changes brought about within the individuals, based on this humiliation, was for the adults the actual attempt in their own way to put into effect a program that would enlighten other races on the futility of race prejudice. With the non-delinquent children, the desire for personal achievement is foremost. Delinquent boys became aloof and antagonistic. The most frequent occurrence that caused a first racial humiliation was, for all three groups, a disagreeable personal experience rather than a group experience.
