Research among high school students in Saint Louis, Missouri, tested five theoretical models that posited the existence of racial differences in adolescents' perceptions of life satisfaction, self-competence, sociopolitical reality, political alienation, and justification of political violence. The self-competence and sociopolitical reality models were supported. (Author/MJL)
