On fifteen of the seventeen items, the smallest proportion of
■* *

students with a favourable view came from Port Augusta High (the
exceptions are starred).

It was hypothesized that Salisbury North would lie at the other
end of the continuum.

On all except the two items starred, this was the case.

While it cannot be said that Aborigines were stereotyped positively
by respondents from this school, nevertheless the Tesponsewasconsistently
more positive than that of the other institutions, and does in fact
lie at the end of the continuum,

The hypothesis that the more visible the Aboriginal world
the less the support for positive typifications of Aborigines by non-
Aborigines was supported.,

The support given by Taperoo, shown in Table 19, was. .not as
consistent as the response of the other schools.

If this school is temporarily eliminated from the discussion,
then the order of support predicted is found in the case of fourteen
out of seventeen items (marked + in Table 19).

In the case of stereotyping of 'Australians’, the reverse was
consistently true. Salisbury North, while not stereotyping
'Australians’ negatively, nevertheless gave, less support to positive
typifications of this group than did the other schools¹.
