Zusammenfassung:This report presents the results of a test of the hypothesis that personality factors are correlated with socio-economic status (SES). The data were collected in 1957. The variables were measured by standardized questionnaire instruments. The subjects consisted of all 17-year-old boys in school in a culturally homogeneous county of Michigan. Statistically significant correlation coefficients were found for eight of the sixteen personality factors measured. Only one of these eight coefficients (SES with intelligence) was even moderately large. The findings imply that SES may affect a number of the personality factors of adolescent males, but that its effects on any one such factor are small.
