Abstract
This session will present the results of a 3-year investigation to replicate and extend prior research exploring the efficacy of a class activity using the Bogardus Social Distance Scale [BSDS] in reducing prejudice and discrimination. Students in six sections of an introductory family science course were assigned to one of three conditions and one of two target marginalized groups for a 3x2 design. Preliminary results suggest significantly different results from those reported in prior investigations. Attendees will participate in a demonstration of the classroom exercise and will learn how to adapt the exercise to different target groups.
