Abstract	The purposes of this study were to investigate adolescent intellectual decline, and to attempt to determine some of the sexual differences possibly inherent in the phenomenon. It was hypothesized that (1) girls would decline in greater numbers and to a greater degree than boys; and (2) areas and amounts of sex differences of the decliners would differ from those of the total sample. Both of these hypotheses were substantiated under a design that examined the subject's student records to determine the type and the score of the IQ test each had taken in early adolescence. The subjects were then given another IQ test, the FIRO-B test of inter-personal relations, a semantic differential and a questionnaire on sex roles. The results showed that overall girls lost IQ points while boys gained. Decliners of both sexes lost an average of ten points, and also had fewer differences in their responses to the other measures than the boys and girls in the total sample. (Author/NE)
