Abstract
Due to a lack of standardized measures of ethnic attitudes it is indicated that our scales should at least be reliable, valid and internally consistent. Data from Ray's ethnic attitude scale are analysed and it is demonstrated that this stale as suitable for use in South Africa among English-speaking schoolboys. It may also be suitable for use among university groups provided further research indicates higher reliabilities among such groups.Keywords
