The Effect of a Prejudice‐Reduction Simulation on Attitude Change¹

The effectiveness of a well‐known prejudice‐reduction simulation, “Blue Eyes‐Brown Eyes,” was assessed as a tool for changing the attitudes of nonblack teacher education students toward blacks. The three outcomes were (a) virtually all of the subjects reported that the experience was meaningful for them; (b) the statistical evidence supporting the effectiveness of the activity for prejudice reduction was moderate; and (c) virtually all of the participants, as well as the simulation facilitator, reported stress from the simulation.
