To investigate differences in self-actualization among campus groups the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) was administered to 192 Ss. The POI scale scores were factor analyzed. Three factors were identified and the following groups were compared on the basis of mean factor scores: Group 1—Black students ( N = 51); Group 2—white majority ( N = 72); Group 3—white, overt, non-conformists ( N = 31); Group 4—white, covert, non-conformists ( N = 22); Group 5—white, non-affiliated ( N = 16). Groups 1 and 2 scored significantly higher on Factor I (self-actualization feelings), no significant differences were found on Factor II (self-actualization thinking), and Group 1 scored significantly higher than Group 5 on Factor III (tentatively identified as a measure of self-concept)
