To appropriately evaluate the effects of the national policy of desegregation on racial attitudes, data from a national probability sample of 9-, 13-, and 17-year olds were analyzed. From this analysis we conclude that for both whites and blacks desegregation is related positively to racial tolerance even for those areas and age-race groups in which the least tolerance is exhibited. The possibility of ceiling effects and social desirability confounding this analysis is discussed briefly.
