Self-Interest versus Racial Attitudes as Correlates of Anti-Busing Attitudes in Louisville: Is It the Buses or the Blacks?

McConahay, John B.

Journal of Politics, v44 n3 p692-720 Aug 1982

A survey of adults in Louisville (Kentucky) revealed that measures of self-interest were weakly and inconsistently related to anti-busing attitudes, while measures of racial attitudes correlated strongly with opposition to busing. These findings contradict the assumptions of traditional political analysis. (Author/PGD)
