Abstract: This bibliography of materials related to minority youth covers the years 1950 to 1979 and includes materials on values, family and socialization practices, self-concept, cooperation and competition as achievement factors, sex roles, role models, peer influences, teacher/student expectations, and instructional strategies. The chapter on cooperation and competition (p. 162-176) provides a good historical listing of materials, many of which have not been included in this annotated bibliography because of the date of the research.
