[Review of the book Students' Attitudes

Abstract

Reviews the book, Students' Attitudes by Daniel Katz and Floyd H. Allport (see record 1931-03274-000 ). Attitudes, among all the problems of modern social psychology, hold a place of unique importance. From the point of view of psychology they involve questions of emotions, sentiments and other habitual ways of behaving, while to the sociologist they contribute to the understanding of groups and institutions as well as to the understanding of social interaction. The gathering of data on such problems necessitate the use of a methodology not yet adequately explored and therefore requiring a careful and critical interpretation of the results In spite of the possible pitfalls the present authors have produced a notable piece of work on the existing attitudes of college students.
