Abstract:
Attitudes toward affirmative action plans (AAPs) differed as a function of AAP
strength, respondent ethnicity, and their interaction. Among Whites and U.S.-born
Hispanics, support decreased as AAP strength increased. Blacks and Hispanic immigrants
rated AAPs of intermediate strength most positively. Attitudes were consistently
related to anticipated consequences for organizational performance.
