“Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” For generations this doggerel has been used by children to mitigate the hurts that come from cruel words. Translate this epigram into social science language and the focus of interest becomes behavior and attitudes and the possible relationship between them. This article is a selective review of the literature which examines their possible connection, especially as they relate to prejudice and discrimination. In turn the implications of this for social work education practice are discussed. The concept “attitude” is one that has been frequently studied in social science. There is no universally accepted convention where definition and measurement are integrated. This article is not intended to resolve differences among competing definitions. It would not be possible to do this. A recent comprehensive examination of one aspect of this issue had more than 15,000 references (Schneider, 2004).
