"The problem in this study was to determine whether there are background experiences significantly related to social acceptance among adolescent boys and, if so, to ascertain whether these background experiences are characteristic generally of all adolescent boys or whether there are differences dependent upon their economic status . . ‥ As far as one can generalize from the present study, those background experiences predictive of social acceptance are, for the most part, common to all economic levels." 16 references.
