Abstract
A critical sociocultural question today is: "Under what experimental and environmental conditions do ethnic subjects select stimuli of their own group?" To assess patterns of ethnic choice, Anglo, Black, and Chicano second- and fifth-grade children were asked to relate 12 statements to ethnic cues presented in a photographic and sociometric modality. After sex and ethnicity of examiners; relative attractiveness of photographs used; and sex, age, and socioeconomic level of subjects were controlled, results indicate that Blacks show higher own-group choice than Anglos. Patterns of ethnic choice were influenced by age and sex of the children and ethnicity of examiner.
