All kids think and feel differently about things. We're interested in what you think you're like and how you think and feel. There are no right or wrong answers. Remember, all kids are different.

Some kids would rather play outdoors in their spare time, BUT Other kids would rather watch TV.

Which kids are more like you, the first ones who like to play outside or the second ones who would rather watch TV?

Now, think about your answer and decide if that is really true for you or sort of true for you.

Some kids feel they are very good at their school work, BUT

Other kids worry about whether they can do the school work assigned to them.

We are interested in your opinion about women's employment. I will read a series of statements and after each one I would like to know whether you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree.


A woman's place is in the home, not the office or shop.

A wife who carries out her full family responsibilities doesn't have time for outside employment.

A working wife feels more useful than one who doesn't hold a job.

Employment of wives leads to more juvenile delinquency.

Employment of both parents is necessary to keep up with the high cost of living.

It is much better for everyone concerned if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family.

Men should share the work around the house with women, such as doing dishes, cleaning and so forth.

Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.

Having a job is the best way for a woman to be an independent person.

We are interested in your opinion about relationships. I will read a series of statements and after each one I would like to know whether you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree.


People in a committed relationship, either married or living together, are generally happier than people who are not in a committed relationship.

It is better to be in a bad relationship than in no relationship at all.

It would be okay for a man and a woman to have children within a cohabiting relationship.


(INTERVIEWER, IF NECESSARY, CLARIFY: "By a cohabiting relationship, we mean a couple living together who are not married.")

COMMENT: Is R 12-16 years of age?

Here are some views that young people have about themselves.

Girls and boys should be treated the same at school. How much do you agree or disagree?

(INTERVIEWER: READ CATEGORIES ONLY IF NECESSARY)

A girl should NOT let a boy know she is smarter than he is.

(INTERVIEWER: READ CATEGORIES ONLY IF NECESSARY)

Competing with boys in school would make a girl unpopular with boys.

(INTERVIEWER: READ CATEGORIES ONLY IF NECESSARY)

A girl should pay her own way on dates.

(INTERVIEWER: READ CATEGORIES ONLY IF NECESSARY)

If there is not enough money for all the children in a family to go to college, the boys should get to go instead of the girls.

(INTERVIEWER: READ CATEGORIES ONLY IF NECESSARY)

It is perfectly okay for a girl to ask a boy for a date, even if he has never asked her.
