Abstract
This study investigates the differences in ethical beliefs between blacks and whites in the United States. Two hundred and thirty four white students and two hundred and fifty five black students were presented with two scenarios and given the Reidenbach-Robin instrument measuring their ethical reactions to the scenarios.
Contrary to previous research, the results indicate that the two groups, which belong to different subcultures, have similar ethical beliefs.
