Abstract	This study examined the attitudes of Swedish junior high students concerning student participation in deciding matters that affect them. Over 100 students and their teachers were interviewed, class committees and school meetings were observed, and the students completed a short questionnaire. To illustrate the pitfalls that a study of pupils' joint influence or co-determination can entail, Arnstein's chart, "Eight Rungs on a Ladder of Citizen Participation," which is frequently referred to in evaluations of citizen participation in planning processes, is discussed. The eight rungs are: manipulation, therapy, informing, consultation, placation, partnership, delegated power, and citizen control. Study findings show that when asked about the influence exerted by children on their situation at a school, the great majority (70 percent) felt that they were able to decide just about the right amount. Nearly three-quarters of the pupils said that they did not know how much children were capable of deciding. Concerning pupils' desire for decision-making powers at school, 83 percent felt that things were just right as they were. (RM)
