Racial Attitudes: Trends to the 1990s

这是一项关于1993年美国种族态度的研究，基于《美国的种族态度：趋势和解读》一书中发表的早期研究，该书描绘了1983年的这些趋势。它将在更新的数据集中分析这些问题，如1992年全国选举研究、1993年综合社会调查和最近的相关盖洛普调查。该项目将包括当代种族问题，并将纳入新的实证和理论工作，这些工作将丰富对种族态度变化与其他变量之间重要关系的解释，如年龄、对政府执法的态度，以及社会合意性对自我报告意见有效性的影响。这项研究将对种族和民族关系领域做出重大贡献，这是社会学中智力上最重要的领域之一，对美国的社会政策具有最大的意义。原著对学者和受过教育的非学术读者都非常有影响力，增加了十年的数据和理论见解，将对理解美国最困难的社会问题之一的知识库做出实质性贡献。

This is a study of American racial attitudes through 1993, building on earlier research published in the book, Racial Attitudes in America: Trends and Interpretations, which charted these trends through 1983. It will analyze them in more recent data sets such as the 1992 National Election Study, the 1993 General Social Survey, and the most recent, relevant Gallup survey. Contemporary racial issues will be included, and the project will incorporate new empirical and theoretical work that will enrich the interpretations of important relationships between change in racial attitudes and other variables, such as age, attitudes toward government enforcement, and the effects of social desirability on the validity of self-reported opinion. This research will contribute significantly to the field of race and ethnic relations, one of the intellectually most important areas of sociology with the greatest significance for American social policy. The original book was very influential with both scholars and educated non-academic readers, and the addition of a decade of data and theoretical insights will be a substantial contribution to the knowledge base for understanding one of the most difficult social problems in the United States.
