A comparative study of the emotional attitudes and interests of Indian and white children

Abstract

The Pressey Interest-Attitude Test was given to 1893 Indian and 1959 white children above the 6th grade. The emotional age of the Indians is considerably behind their own chronological age. A discussion considers the possibilities that differences such as are revealed in the interest and attitude tests may serve as a more critical basis for studying race differences.
