Summary:This study was to determine if the SRA Youth Inventory could rank teen-agers on the basis of good adjustment as recognized by trained personnel. The device was administered to 7th and 8th grade pupils in an urban school in northern Indiana. A total of 392 sets of responses were received and scored at Purdue University. It was found that differences between the high and low adjustment groups (as determined by ratings) were significant at or beyond the 1 % level for all areas in the measuring instrument except 2.
