A Study In Social Distance In A Typical Mormon Community, Anthon Steffensen Cannon Jan 1934

A Study In Social Distance In A Typical Mormon Community, Anthon Steffensen Cannon

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of social distance found in a typical Mormon community, and to investigate the influence of the so-called "Mormon Church" upon the prejudices of its members towards other races and religions. It also aims to experiment with a techique for re-conditioning social distance in order to increase the degree of sympathetic understanding of persons for other groups of people.
