Abstract: Although most of the racial achievement studies in the literature offer clear cut evidence of the typical reaction of blacks on racially integrated achievement tasks, none mentioned the effect that biracial encounter has on the achievement-oriented behavior of whites. Thus, the present study was conducted under the hypothesis that when given an achievement task black prison inmates will display more failure-avoidant behavior in a mixed than in a "black only" condition, while white prison inmates will display more achievement-oriented behavior in a mixed than in a "white only" condition.
