Description
Summary:Attitudes of Arabs and Jews in the Middle East with regard to dependability of either group suggest that the negative picture of one group about the other is similar to that of the second group about the first one. Are these attitudes based on valid group differences or do they reflect prejudice and stereotyped perceptions? Ethnographic studies suggest possible real differences in commitment behavior between the two groups. The present study examined verbal and behavioral aspects of commitment with 125 Jewish and Arab eighth-graders as the subjects. The results reveal no basic group differences, although specific differences were found depending on particular situations and persons involved.
