The Army Racial Awareness Program: A Case Study of Program Impact on Personal Values. Special Report
Vaughan, Michael R.; Kriner, Richard E.
The effects of two forms of presentation of the Army Racial Awareness Program (RAP) on the personal values of equality and freedom were assessed. Subjects were Army personnel assigned to RAP at Fort Meade, Md. The research instrument was the Rokeach Value Survey, in pretest-posttest administrations. Results suggested that the official RAP presentation version--lecture and discussion--was more effective than a lecture-only version in changing personal values. Importance attached to equality was increased among RAP participants but not among lecture-only subjects. Importance attached to freedom was relatively unaffected in both groups. The size and statistical significance of value change among RAP participants varied according to characteristics such as age, race, rank, and education. Such differences were not found among lecture-only subjects. Subjects indicated approval of the RAP program and its continuance for all Army personnel.
