Abstract

As students entered a room to hear a pro-Israel or a pro-Arab lecture, they were asked to indicate whether they sympathized with the Israelis, the Arabs, or neither side in the Middle East conflict. A greater number of students inclined to support the Israeli position attended the lecture by the pro-Israel speaker, whereas more pro-Arab students attended the lecture by the pro-Arab speaker.
