Comparisons are made between selected groups of students in Occidental College (liberal arts) and California Institute of Technology (rigid selection in preparatory mathematics and science and subsequent intensive training in them), using the percentage prejudice score on the Goodwin Watson Survey of Public Opinion. The results "do not lend support to the assumption that mathematics and scientific training are the potent factors in differentiating the groups of the two institutions in their inference-making abilities." Specific data and interpretations are given. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved). © 1933 American Psychological Association.
