| Abstract | Following up on an earlier study which found that blacks and whites differed significantly on a 54-item development scale designed to measure effective individual functioning, or "maturity," this report considers whether the content of the Psychosocial Maturity Scale (PSM) is biased in favor of white children and if this bias invalidates the scale for blacks; and examines in detail both racial similarities and differences in maturity scale responses. Racial similarities and differences were explored via a factor analysis and analyses of individual items. The factor structure obtained for blacks was virtually the same as that obtained previously for a 95 percent white sample. At the item level, the greatest similarities occurred with respect to attitudes toward educational innovations. Such items produced the smallest between-race differences, in general, at the two grade levels studied, 5th and 11th grades. The greatest differences emerged on items which reflected feelings of control over job choice, expectancies of job success and satisfaction, and feelings toward people who differ in status and beliefs--whites claiming more positive job attitudes and less anxiety about individual differences than blacks. Appended are questionnaire formats and tabulated test results emerging from the study. (Authors/RJ) |
