| Summary: | A matched sample of lower class African American and white males selected for their social marginality rated Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X on semantic differential scales constructed to measure both evaluative and potentiality factors. Two specific hypotheses were tested and supported by these data. First, both white and African American males rated MX higher on potentiality than MLK Jr., and second, there existed an interaction between race and person rated such that African American males evaluated MX higher than MLK Jr. while white males evaluated MLK Jr. higher than MX. |
