More Evidence on Social-Psychological Processes that Perpetuate Minority Segregation: The Relationship of School Desegregation and Employment Desegregation Report No. 338, Center for Social Organization of Schools, Johns Hopkins University, June 1983 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Social Organization of Schools, Johns Hopkins University Keyword(s): Employment; Geographical Variation; Occupational Choice; Occupational Segregation; Racial Differences; Schooling; Transition, School to Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This report used data from the black subsample of the NLSY to investigate the effects of school desegregation on subsequent employment desegregation. Analysis is based on 472 female and 602 male blacks who reported being employed either full- or part-time at the time of the 1980 survey. It was found that in the north, blacks from desegregated schools were more likely to be located in desegregated occupational work groups. Moreover, blacks from desegregated school backgrounds made fewer racial distinctions about the friendliness of their co-workers or about the competence of their employment supervisors. In contrast, blacks from segregated schools tended to find desegregated co-workers to be less friendly and white supervisors to be less competent. Evidence suggests that both early school desegregation experiences and current community desegregation patterns promote desegregation in work environments, with school desegregation showing a greater impact, particularly among northern blacks. Thus, it appears that the inferred social-psychological processes that perpetuate minority segregation across institutional settings are not artifactual, but are outcomes of cross-race experiences in the varied institutional settings. Results also suggest that early desegregated experiences create a different attitudinal basis among blacks that, in part, produces or sustains desegregation in adulthood. [(c)APA] |
