Organizations increasingly make use of diversity training programs to develop a climate of acceptance and cooperation, yet the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear. This study examines changes in attitudes of Hispanic and Anglo men and women before and after an intervention that focused on diversity competency. Results reveal that attitudes toward diversity differ by racioethnic gender group at the start of the intervention and that attitudes change differentially by racioethnic gender group. Anglo women’s attitudes, in general, moved in a positive direction more so than other groups’, whereas Hispanic women consistently seemed to be the most tolerant of others. Anglo males appeared to be the least tolerant of others. Implications of the results are explored with regard to diversity intervention and future research.
