Abstract
This study investigated levels of racial bias in peer to peer intelligence assessment using a sample of 26 students in a lower division psychology course at Southern Adventist University (SAU). Statistical analyses revealed no significant age, gender, ethnicity, or class standing differences in levels of racial bias and due to the small sample size, many results were inconclusive. Statistical significance was found in the relationship between academic discipline and racial bias. Results also show that college students tend to view both their Mrican American peers and their Caucasian peers with nearly equal levels ofbias. In fact, results revealed a generally positive view of peer intelligence for both racial groups.
