| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the adjustment of high school seniors and the marital adjustment of their parents in a Southern California city. Five positive hypotheses were formulated: that the adjustment of high school seniors is directly related to (1) the marital adjustment of their parents, (2) the personalities of their parents, and (3) the student's impression of his parents' marital adjustment; that (4) the student's impression of his parents' marital adjustment is very close to correct; and that (5) the marital adjustment of each parent is positively associated with his or her own personality.; The study gains its importance mainly from the light it may throw on some basic sociological concepts. It is a specific inquiry into the process of social interaction as it functions in the family situation. Person to person relationships and person to group relationships are studied. The process of socialization is illustrated as temperament reacts with temperament in the primary group of the family, and attitudes there assimilated find a place in the personality. It is in these broader implications that the hypotheses find their true conceptual framework and have their real meaning and importance as sociological data.; The study is important also as an outgrowth of previous research in the field, and may serve to corroborate or supplement other theories, extend or limit their application to new populations.; Finally, there is a growing demand for clarification of the problem studied. Courses on marriage and the family are becoming more and more prevalent in high schools and colleges. The questions are highly controversial, and factual information is greatly needed to aid the student in this relatively new area of study. |
