Abstract |
Draws on 1993 telephone interview data from a national sample of 1,201 Hispanic adults in the US to demonstrate the wide diversity of social perspectives that exists in a single ethnic group, aiming to increase social worker awareness. Comparisons controlled for country of origin & ethnic heritage; questions concerned the nation s most prominent social issues (civil rights, health care, education, & crime). Findings showed, contrary to expectations, that country of origin & ethnic heritage had little effect on responses & that differences were largely related to gender. 10 Tables, 23 References.
