Obituary
Frederick Wyatt (1911–1993)
Inventing Adolescence
There is a widespread and deep awareness that all is not well with American public education nor with the students, educators, and administrators who are charged with making citizens literate. Joseph Adelson's work has gained considerable prominence in this ongoing reevaluation. Writing with force, verve, and the tools of advanced study, Adelson's book provides what might be the most comprehensive look at American Education since the work of Dian…
Inventing Adolescence
Commentaries
Unlike other analysts of the American scene — past and present, foreign and domestic — M. Crozier is reasonable, amiable, often generous. The problems of this chapter — and I will assume it to be representative of the approach taken throughout the book — stem not from malice, but from an analytical framework far too diffuse, hence inadequate
On the psychology of young women
Introductory statement
Legal Guarantees of Individual Freedom
American, British, and German adolescents between the ages of 11 and 18 were asked to weigh the merits of two potentially intrusive laws and to state whether or not individual freedoms ought to enjoy certain legal safeguards.

Individual Rights and the Public Good
Adolescent Perspectives on Law and Government
The research we report here has had as its aim a study of the acquisition of political philosophy during the adolescent years. We have always known, in a rough and general way, that adolescence is marked by a rapid growth in the comprehension of political ideas.

Special section on trance states
Growth of political ideas in adolescence

Personality differences in the capacity for verbal recall
The psychodynamics of social mobility in adolescent boys
Freud in America
Ethnocentrism and misanthropy
Twenty-nine items from existing scales of ethnic prejudice were rewritten so that the terms 'people' or 'most people' or 'humans' were substituted for the specific minorities originally designated. The scale thus constructed (termed M for misanthropy) was found to be correlated .43 (.53 when corrected for attenuation) with a 20-item version of the UC-POS scale for general ethnic intolerance. The results of the study were discussed with reference …
