Whether agreeable student response to women's educational equity depends upon a particular mode of presenting such pretested modes-dogmatic, emotional, & factual-was explored by randomly supplying each subject with a stimulus using one of the modes. The assumption was that by randomly distributing the stimuli among subjects, any differences in response were facilitated by the stimuli. Survey & experimental techniques were utilized, drawing on cognitive & reactive levels of response. Statements used in designing stimuli were derived from testimony at the House & Senate hearings on behalf of the Women's Educational Equity Act of 1974. Responses to the stimuli, agreeing with women's educational equity, were not explained by interaction between stimulus & sex nor by stimulus or sex taken independently. Responses to the stimuli, agreeing with women's liberation, did display a relationship between percent agreement & sex. Both sexes, however, agreed less with women's liberation than with educational equity. Reinforcement of an accepting attitude among college-age youth toward women's educational equity seems best undertaken by the presentation of noncontroversial, factual arguments. 4 Tables.
