The survey aimed to examine the connection between the veterans' wartime experiences, postwar situation, and personality traits, on the one hand, and ethnic prejudices, primarily antisemitism (but also prejudices against Blacks and other minorities), on the other. The data suggest that ethnic intolerance is more a function of subjective perceptions than of the objective situation. Emphasizes principal factors which can explain the intolerance manifested by the veterans, such as subjective deprivation and downward social mobility, as well as somewhat lesser factors such as anxiety and the absence of adequate control of hostile discharge against ethnic minorities. Dynamic approach to intolerance -- Patterns of ethnic intolerance -- Stereotyping the minority -- Social status -- The war experience -- Anxiety and intolerance -- Tolerance: a function of control -- Condoning intolerance: anti-negro attitudes -- Reflections, and applications for social action. by Bruno Bettelheim and Morris Janowitz.
