The study compared the ethnic stereotypes of two succeeding generations of Urdu-Speaking adolescents for self (Urdu-Speaking) and other (Sindhi-speaking) in Shah Latifabad, Hyderabaad. 80 male adolescents of second and third generations completed twelve semantic differential scales in 1970 and 1988, respectively. The findings indicated that ratings of the third generation adolescents were more polarized both for self (Urdu-speaking) and other (Sindhi­ speaking) than the ratings of the second generation. A number of possible explanations are discussed to understand the extreme judgements of the present generation adolescents. On the basis of data available in this investigation, the approach of selective perception seems most tenable explaining how in times of greater tension images become distorted because of emotions such as hate or love.
