It was hypothesized (2.4a) that, where Aborigines were a visible
group, non-Aborigines would have a negative view of Aborigines and,
*
in turn, Aborigines would have a negative view of 'Australians’.
The prediction was thus that, in the secondary sector, a higher
ProportionofPort Augusta Aboriginal students would hold a negative
view of Australians, followed by Augusta Park and Taperoo. In the
post-secondary context, the prediction was that S.A.I.T. students
would have a negative view, and the group at Stone's would show
uncertainty in ,typifying ’Australians', that is, they would opt most
often for the mid-point.
