Abstract
The fifty-city project Rearing Children of Good Will, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews and known in Milwaukee as Project Understanding, seeks to change parental attitudes and value systems believed to generate prejudice in children. Project Understanding's instructional methods include lectures, question-and-answer periods, small discussion groups, and a field trip. Although overall findings indicated no major trends or directions and random results were subject to interpretation, results do concur with other research indicating that education, income, age, and religion influence the probability of attitudinal change. This knowledge and evidence concerning methodological successes will influence future project planning, but many more answers to the problem of attitudinal change and appropriate methodologies are needed.
