Need for Affiliation, Self-Esteem, and Social Distance of Black Americans.

Littig, Lawrence W.; Williams, Cardell E.

Motivation and Emotion, v2 n4 p369-74 1978

Black undergraduates were tested for their social distance between their own and other ethnic groups. High need for affiliation and high self-esteem were related to small social distance between own and other groups. Low need for affiliation and low self-esteem produced large social distance. These data have implications for occupational mobility. (Author/GC)
