Description
Summary:	College freshmen raised in bilingual homes were equated in age, sex, and in some cases socio-economic status with control students. Emotional adjustment differences were measured by: (1) college mortality, (2) interviews with the personnel office (3) the Bell Adjustment Inventory, (4) the Allport-Vernon Study of Values, (5) the Bogardus Test of Social Distance, (6) a modified Kent-Rosanoff association test, and (7) the Morgan-Murray Thematic Apperception Test (modified). The results indicate consistently greater maladjustments among the bilingual than among the control students. Detailed differences between the groups are presented.
