Summary In a detailed study of attitudes, preferences and stereotyping in a ‘multi‐racial’ secondary school two testers, one white and one black were used. Data analysis revealed that in certain areas there was a consistent tendency toward the presentation of a more favourable self image to the white tester by the West Indian pupils. This finding questions the view that a white tester necessarily inhibits the response of black subjects.
