In their May 1963 article, "Student Rebellion against Parental Political Beliefs," Russell Middleton and Snell Putney discussed one aspect of political socialization, that of reaction of young adults to their parents' political beliefs.1Testing, as they did, a sample drawn from several public and private institutions in the four geographic regions of the United States, their results reveal this process of political socialization amongst the predominant white group in our society. The present article attempts to compare their results with a similar study undertaken at a primarily Negro institution, in order to suggest any differences that may appear in this process between the subgroup and the predominant group. The data for this study were collected by means of anonymous questionnaires administered to 396 students in ten different courses in the College of Liberal Arts, at Howard University, Washington, D.C. Analysis of the characteristics of the respondents showed that the students represented a diversity of age, family income, and academic class standing. For this report, only Negro United States citizens at Howard are considered; these total 169 males and 147 females. © 1967 University of North Carolina Press.
