S ummary . A measure of affiliation to parents, peers and school was administered to a sample of 1379 subjects of both sexes, aged between 11 and 17 years. A principal component analysis of the scores on the inventory produced three clearly separated components, one for each reference group. The scores derived from a rotated solution were analysed using grade, sex, ability, and socio‐economic status as independent variables. The main findings were: (i) Home and school affiliation scores declined with age while peer affiliation scores increased, (ii) Female students were more positive about peer and school affiliation than were male students, while male students were more positive about home affiliation, (iii) The high ability students were more positive about their schools than were the low ability students, and (iv) Socio‐economic level was not related to reference group affiliation
