THE WORK OF RICHARD LAPIERE


LaPiere Study (1934) of Anti-Oriental attitude VS action were based on LaPiere writting in to more than 250 restaurants 6 months in advance asking about their response to oriental guest dining. He received more than 90% response on rejecting acceptance of dining oriental guests , but when Richard LaPiere did turn up at more than 18o restaurant, together with a chinese couple, their visit were properly served in all but one restaurants..

------------very very short summary... kthxbye--------------




morale of the story: what someone claims to do, the attitude they perceived MAY NOT justify the sort of behavior they carry, or the action that was ACTUALLY taken...



kkk... good evidence for a psychological exam with the question "Attitude rarely predict behaviour... explain" worth 30 marks!!!!!
