Increased awareness of diversity in organizations has been evident in the extensive implementation of diversity training programs. This study examined the effectiveness of a one-hour diversity training session in influencing trainee behaviors, as well as the role of pre-training and post-training attitudes. Training outcomes were measured 6 months after the training session, and compared with pre-training measures. Two new and distinct attitudinal factors were found in this study: attitude toward diversity (ATD) and attitude toward diversity training (ATDT). These two factors were differentially related to behavior after training. Other predictors of diversity training success are discussed, and implications for training programs and training evaluation are considered.
