Prosser wanted to see if there was a difference between black students in integrated schools and in segregated schools. Her dissertation sought to answer seven main questions. Prosser measured the following questions by giving students surveys on personality and character traits; the first question was what are the social and cultural backgrounds of the children in the two groups? Second, what are the occupational and activity interests of the two groups? Third, to what extent do black children participate in after school activities? Fourth, what racial attitudes are each group exhibiting? Fifth, what are the emotional responses of the two groups towards being discriminated against? Sixth, what is the effect of the school type on the children’s personality? Lastly, to what degree is aggressiveness and submission fostered in the two groups (Prosser 1933)?

Note: I plan to add this to the section about her dissertation. There is not any information in the article currently about the methods and measures of her dissertation. I also plan to edit and expand on the results portion of her dissertation that the article already has.
