| Abstract | This study was undertaken to identify differences in the literary responses of adolescents related to race-of-characters (white, Negro, and neutral) in three versions of a short story. Each of 281 subjects (ninth- and eleventh-grade) read one story version and then--on an adapted semantic differential instrument--rated nine elements from the story (characters, a literary symbol, his mood while reading, and the full story) against a series of bi-polar adjective scales. Two major phases of analysis of variance and F-tests, each including 33 separate analyses, were performed, disclosing 35 significant differences among the responses, six at the .01 level and the remainder at the .05 level. The results indicate: (1) The major effect of race-of-characters was to lower reader evaluation of Negro characters; (2) This effect does not lower estimates of the story itself; (3) Race-of-characters has its greatest effect among white readers of a Negro version, who find the same more powerful or active; and (4) Various other differences in literary response are related to subject-race, socio-economic position, and reading-achievement level. There was no indication that Negro subjects preferred the Negro version or that white subjects did not respond affirmatively to the Negro version. (Author/JF) |
