The Relationship Between Degree of Anti-Negro Prejudice and Type of Reaction to Frustration

Paula Judith Licciardi, Fordham University

Abstract

Civilized men today are gaining notable mastery over the material world and are rapidly learning to control physical suffering and pre- mature death. However, advances in the sphere of human relationships have failed in many ways to keep pace with those of the physical sci- ences. The average family in America now possesses previously un- heard of luxuries, yet as evidenced by the increasing divorce rate and rise in juvenile delinquency, family life has seemingly reached a high level of disintegration. The past decade has been witness to the genesis of man's control over atomic energy. It is indeed unfortu- nate that conflict between the peoples of the world may cause this newly acquired knowledge to be used in a destructive rather than a constructive way.
