economic differences. To check this possibility, employment status of mothers is held constant (shown in Table 9). With employment status of the mother held constant, socio-economic differences in adolescent-parent adjustment remain above the 1% level of probability. We may, therefore, state with confidence that employment status of the mother does not explain the observed differences between the adolescentparent adjustment of high and low socioeconomic groups. We should point out, however, that socio-economic level is not an equally significant variable in homes where the mother is or is not employed. It is highly associated with adjustment where mothers are not employed, but shows no significant adjustment where mothers are employed part or full time. Summary. Adolescents are, on the average, better adjusted to parents in high than in low socio-economic level families. This is shown by a comparison of mean adjustment scores of the two groups; by their distribution into high, middle, and low adjustment quartiles, and by an item analysis of the scale used to measure adjustment. The higher scores of the high socio-economic group are not explained by the dif
