Zusammenfassung:Questionnaire data from 119 white U undergraduates (41% F) are used to compare stereotypes attached to the terms 'Negro', 'black', & 'Afro-American', based on the stereotype measure developed by D. Katz & K. W. Braly ("Racial Prejudice and Racial Stereotypes," Journal of Abnormal & Social Psychology, 1935, 30, 175-193). Significant differences were found on 5 traits: blacks were considered most rude & least talkative, Negroes were considered most persistent, & Afro-Americans were considered least loud, least lazy, & least rude. The most stereotypes were attributed to blacks, & the fewest to Afro-Americans. Adoption of the term 'Afro-American' appears favored by this evidence. 2 Tables, 15 References. W. H. Stoddard
