The primal purpose of this study is to discuss theargumentof
volunteer group for aborigines of college studentsin terms of
contact and norm theory.On race attitude theory,the hypothesis
of contact theory is that prejudice towarddifferentrace will
lessen by way of contact, but the contactmust base one qual
relations(Allport,1979:281). On the otherhand, Mertonemphasis
that situation pressure affect a lot onthe change of race
relations. This research takes Kang-An as a case, and
includessecondary data analysis, participating observation
andinterview methods. Chapter 4 is about the group structure
ofKang-An, the society background, changes of the group
andmember structure. Chapter 5 contains the changes of
raceattitude of members and aborigines, and other influences
bycontact also. Main research results are: 1. Political an d
religious power leads to theestablishment of volunteer group for
aborigines of collegestudents. And for members, joining it has
dual functions:egoistic and altruistic. Members afford
aborigines withactivities and learn how to grow in the volunteer
process. 2. In terms of motives, Kang-An show something
aboutpower .Group members choose to join this group first and
goto tribes; then aborigines decide to participate
thoseactivities, which are arranged by those who has
determinedto get along with aborigines already, or not.
