Michigan State University ABSTRACT TDKHCVIFFION'CF VALUTS: PEER VS. PAP-E33 MODELS by Phyllis C. Fretzke Much has been written, snoken and theorized about the adolescent of today, all of this in an attemnt to better understenfi, and where noseihle, to imnrove the lot of tofley’e youth. Some researchers sug- gest thet a change in the traneniseion of values has taken niece and that the aiolescent receives more of his values from his veer groun than from his narents. With this situation, nnrente no longer give their children the guidance needed to assist them through the adoles- cent period and nrovide a smooth transition to the adult world. This research was based on the nremiae that the attention given to a few adolescents has cloufled the issue and caused malformed gen» erelizatione about the entire world of adolescents. It was hynotheeized Ithet the adolescent receives his values from his nerents, enfl while the neer group does have some influence on adolescent values it is not as significant as the narental values. Thirty eighth grade girls, thirty of their friends (who were assumed to renreeent the neer groun), and the thirty girls' mothers (Who were assuwed to renreaent the nerental values) were given the 21:- figrential Values Profiles, Form A and Form B. Thie instrument was de- Signed to measure the value areas of aesthetic, humanitarian, intell- ectual, materialistic, newer, and religious- The data were analyzed for correlations between the girls and T? their veer group end the girls end their'uotheru in eech.of the six values areas. The date seemod‘to support the hynothesio that the girl: do receive none value: free their parente rather than from the peer group. There we. a pecitive correlation at the five rereent eignifiennce level in'beth the value: of aesthetic and religioue‘between the girl. and their euthere.

And with its nrogress and nrnsperity change has brought its prOblems end perplexity. Che e is s factor that must be accepted and harnessed (hg%. Walter Linnman called this social change from rural living and self-sufficient economy to urbanization and industrialization "acids of modernity" that are eating away at the core of the American way of life (35). lVhen the country is in the throes of change in its living patterns, the value dilemma is the most Obvious by product. Morality and the relationships between men have become so complex that right and wrong have giventivay to the practical and pragmatic. The value dilemma could result in.transmitting vague or incompatible values to our children, as children internalize the values of the institutions and significant nersons with whom they associate. If the adolescent has an inadequate system of personal values he can easily be in- fluenced and pressured by his peer groun.~ Whether the contemnorary sdolescent's values are primarily transmitted by the parental family or absorbed from his peer group seems a debatable point in current research. Coleman reported that: Adolescence is a unique period of transition from childhood to adulthood. As part of that transition comes a shift in orientation, away from the Preceding generation, toward one‘s own generation. This transition has been taking place since early childhood, even a young child responds sore to the pressures of his fellows than to the desires of his parents (9:139). 3 Coleman also felt that than trunnion period m @1111th and 88111133)“ has.

He stated that the home the adolescent comes from conflitione the way he reacts in all his relationshiee (25). Influence of the mother Both narente have a fiefinite influence on the develonment of the child, but the mother's relationshin with her child and her values eonear to have the greatest imnact on his development. Coven stated, "In all discussions of narent-child relationshioe, the attitude of the mother toward her children is regarded as the most significant. The warm, loving mother is the one with whom the child can identify and from vhom he receives a sense of worth and self-confidence" (9:111). Since the mother is the more significant of the narente in her re- lationahine with her child, her values can be taken to renresent those of the parents. Statement of the Prohlcfi What then is the source of adolescent values: nerente, neere, or both?

His thaw or 5mm 7 holds that the young child goes through five definits nhsses in the first five or six years of life - nassivs oral, oral sadistic, anal, nhsllic, and narcissism and only two in the romaining fifteen years from chilihooi and adolescence - genital and latency stages (16). Prik Frikson modified the nsychoanalytic nosition of instincts an! biological nosds and nointsfl out that social factors can modify downlonrsnt and ii innulsss. Erikson felt that youth is confronted with a rhy U3 iologicsl r-wolutinn within hinsslf that threatens his holy image sni his ego iflsntity. The sdolsscent becomes orcoccunisd with whst he annosrs to or in the eyes of other: as confiared with what he feels he is (the mirror image theory). The adolescent neriod is the tins in which the flowinsnt positive ego identity is to be est- ablish-i. In the early noriod, this crsstsd some role diffusion. Adolescents oftsn ovsr identify‘with athletic chamnions, grouo leaders, and movie heroes to the extant that they sonssr to lose their own iflsntity. During this fine youth rarely'idsntifiss with their parents but more often rdhsl against their dominance, value system, and in- trusion into his rrivstc life. The near groun halos the individual to fini his identity in a social context at this ooint. This is a necessary flsfsnss against the dangsrs of self-diffusion which exist during this rsriofl when the bony image changes and genital maturity stimulstss the imagination (1?). Anna Frsufl took wore “sins than hsr fathsr in snslling out the irrnrtsnce of the sflolsscsnt develorment, and assinned greater invert- once to wuhsrty as s factor in chsrsctnr formation. She asserted that the factors involwsfl in adol-scent conflict are: the strength of the 8 id imnulce, which is determined hy rhysiologicnl and endocrinologicel nrocesses during nuhescence, the 930's shility to core with or to yield to the instinctual forces, and the effectiveness and nature of the defense mechansim at the disnosal of the ego (15). Otto Bank was a follower of the nsychoanolytic school of thought, but broke swsy and challenged some of the basic sscumrtions. He nlsced "will" as the core concent in his theory. He theorized thet wi‘l is a force that actively ferns the self and modifies the environment. Sex- uality is not the strongest determining factor in the develonmental process (as in Freud's theory), since will can to some degree control sexuality. Thus, the ennhssis shifted from early childhood to adol- escence since it is nredoninantly in this neriod that s most crucial asnect of nersonolity develonment occurs, the change from decendence to indenendence. In early adolescence, the individual begins to onnose both the external errironnent and internal cravings. The external en- vironment is the newly awakened instinctual urges. Establishing inde- pendence becomes a vital but difficult task and was the root of many adolescent personal relationshins with his family, his nears, and him- self (hO). There are a number of transition or crisis periods in the life scan of the individual. Adolescence renresents one of the greatest of these neriods of crisis, as the individual is neither a child, nor an adult, and is caught in the overlanning forces of exnectations. Lewin described him as the "marginal man" who stood on the hounisry of two grouns, but does not belong to either of them, or at least is un- certain about his belongingnese. Because of the adolescent's nosition, Lewin contended that the following conditions resulted: 9 l Adolescent unclearness and instability of ground resulted in shyness, sensitivity and egressive- ness. 2 More or less nermanent conflict of attitudes, values, idealogies, and styles of living. 3 Emotional tension from conflicts. h Feadiness to take extremes to shift nositions. 5 Only occured in degree to type of culture (3h). Adolescents do not usually make this change from childhood to adulthood quickly, smoothly, or in an orderly fashion. Horrocks was quoted by Stanton as stating that the adolescent's behavior is tyn- ically so inconsistent that it is obvious to the thoughtful observer that he is simultaneously wanting and fearing indenendence (h7). This inconsistancy is disturbing to both the adolescent and his nar- ents as neither knows exactly what to exnect. The adolescent, like everyone else, snends twenty-four hours a day satisfying or attemnting to satisfy his nhysical, social, and personality needs. Blair and Jones stated that when a need existed and was unsatisfied, the adolescent became restless and tense. He sought some goals which would reduce the state of imbalance within him. The personality needs of the adolescent are the need for status, indenendence, achievement, and a satisfying nhilosorhy of life. The framework within which the adolescent is to fulfill these needs differ greatly from that of his childhood. Blair and JOnes resorted that: The child's role is clearly structured. He knows what he can and cannot do. The adult like- wise understands nretty well what is his role. The adolescent, however, is in an ambiguous position. He never really knows how he stands. It is a well- known fact that the delinquency rates soar during the period of adolescence, that suicides become increas- ingly nrewalent, that the drug and alcohol addiction may have their beginning, and that such general une banniness exists (5:7). 10 Value s The concept of values has been defined in literature in mm- wm by sociologists, anthropologists, social psychologists. and exp- erimental psychologists, cosh contributing their on theories to this W.

Value definition Fa the mess: of this paper, values will be taken to man a group of concepts of persowlly desirable stewards of behavior. Just- ification for this definition cones from the sociological point of view as stated in the writings of Jacob and Funk, Kluclzhohn, smith, Tunas, ran-'1 l-‘illiflsn. hash and Plink define values as "motive starsz'ierds ty which human beings are ird’lueneed in their choices mung the al- temative courses of action" (3‘73). filucslnhn defined value as "a concoction, explicit or implicit, distinctive of as individual or christuris" ”.o of a wasp, of fire desirable which influences the se- snith state], by values, I shell was a pvrson’s implicit or exulicit staminri of choice, imam as then-:2 are invested with chug-nil. 1 or miredneos" (BS). ”hams said values are '- mans-tin, consensual standard of the desirable that eradimsitiumlly influences individ- uals in choosing smog nersonttlly vermin-rd sltmmtiwns of behavior" 11 (h9zh9). unm- stated "values can things in which soon!- m in. ten-teduthings tint they went, desire to be or m, feel as oblig- atory, Its-shin, enjoy.

Turner found that social values did annear early in the develon- ment of the child, but they were not stable and were subjected con- stantly to environmental influences (51). Studies by Smith, flames, and Carlson indicated that the degree and extent to which attitudes and values were modifablc denended upon the nature of the exnerience (hS), the type of contact (19), and the subjects pcrcention of the out- come (7). Hamming felt one adopted only those attitudes and values which are normally sanctioned by the community in'which one lives (22). Kahl stated that values "are convictions shared by peonle in a given culture or subculture about the things they considered good, imnortant, or beautiful" (31). He further believed that values tended to become organized into systems, and that when a groun of neonle share a number of abstract values which have been so organized into such systems, then these should be called value orientations. Such a line of reasoning would cxnlain'why various class values or occunational values develon. "People who perform the same activities or who occuny a given nrest- ige level in s stratification system evolve a set of value orientations distinctive to themselves" (31:10). Tbs Allport-Vernon Study of Valusg (l) was used by the Planning Project group to determine if there was s relationshin between selected variables and values.

To provide a larger mole, and to 31 avoid having one—fourth of the nonulstion remedial students (as would be the case the second semester) the first semester classes were ch- osen. The school is situated in a suburban area that is an out growth of the metropolitan city. All of the girls are from white families anfi range in socioeconomic status from lower middle to unner middle. Critcrin All of the eighty-eight girls enrolled in the home economics classes were given the instrument, and of these thirty student tests were chosen. As a sort of the instrument, each girl named her best friend. This best friend was used to renresent her neer groun. The criteria for choosing the thirty tests to be used was simnly selectm ing the girls who had nanod other girls who had also taken the test. or the eighty-eight enrolled in the class, five were absent the day the test was administered, and five others had unusable answer sheets. Fortysfive girls indicated their best friend was not enrolled in this school, were in another section and not currently taking home economics, or were otherwise unavailable to be given the instrument. or the thirty-three remaining instruments, two of the mothers could not be contacted for several weeks. The remaining thirty-one tests were then selected as the groun to renresent daughters, their friend's test was selected to renresent the veer groun, and their mothers were contacted. One mother did not resnond to the questionnaire, so a set of thirty were available. 32 Collection of Data The Tifferentiel value Profile - Form B was administered to all of the girls in three home economics classes during a regular class neriod and on the same day. The girls were instructed to fill in the answer sheets according to the directions: This test has b2 statements which ask for some of your oninions. There are no right or wrong answers. What is wanted is your own individual feeling about the statements. Read each statement carefully and then decide how YOU feel about it. Mark your ansver on the nroner snace on the answer sheet. Use only flg_hlanks on the answer sheet. If you Strongly Arree, blacken the sense under SA. If you igrgg, blacken the snace under A. If you Bisngzge, blacken the snace under D. If yen Strenggy Disfigree, blncken the s"ace under SD. There is no time limit, but do not snend too much time on any one item. Fleece answer every statgnent. (L9).

He may not he a creative artist or music- ian, or even effete; he is aesthetic if he but finds his chief interest in the artistic enieodes of life. 33 Humanitarian «- The highest motive for thin type of :Ernon is "love 0: rec: leg whether of one or may, whether conm‘gal, filial, friendly, or nhilenthrmie. The hmnanitarian man nrizeo other erratum as ends and is therefore himself kind, symeathetic, and un- selfish. In its surest form the social interest is selfless an! tan a to encroach very closely to the religicue attitude in none etrulntione. In its stronger form, it must be mfire than en affluent nhilanthromist comfortably giving of his New to others. A strong humanitarian value imnlies self- giving at the exoense of oneself. Intel“: ectuel - The person with a high intellectual mu}. will place much embeds on the 'cognitive' neveotn of behavior. He will enjoy theoretical our. suite. He will seek to observe and to reason. Since the interests of the intellectual man are miricel, critical, and rational, he still frequently be a scientist or nhilooonher. A mjor aim of life in to order and systematize his kneels-age. He sees 'renson for Existenoe' an important concern. i; eterisl . The ma vith high tutorial value looks at his enviromcnt in the light of the 'dollar sign.’ Economic worth is trim-y. He is thomzahly practical and will tend to judge on event or object by its tan- gible benefits. He embracee the nrecticel affairs of the business world -- the production, merit-ting, and ooncumtion of goods, the elaboration of credit, and the acmletion of tangible wealth. He might oonfm to the prevailing eterotyne of the average American businessesan. He sees materiel valm in everythim. Power . The person with e high never value looks at evexythirg as a notent in]. mans of never and authority. He has an urge for leadership and domination of others. He sees symbols of never in everything. He will ensoy competition and Open struggle with others, although this overt demonstration my not always be obvious. Be vill probably be interested in politics, military noe- itions, or such similar nositicne. This value may often find ital: closely associated with the material value in some populations. Feligiou§.- The individual with a high religious value is characterised by commitment to a Higher Purpose. Be is mystical and seeks to comrrehend the cosmos as a whole and to relate himself to it: enbrecing totality. Stranger defines the religious man as one vhoae nontel structure is permanently directed to the creation on 3” the highest and oheolntely satisfyinq vnlue ernerience. The religious man sees something divine in everything. Fe will usually have a great faith in God and might deny audience with anything that would annear to cover such a close relationship with the Divine. He will ottemrt to relate religiously to objects and nersons in his environment (h9). Scoring The subject was instructed to choose strongly agree, agree, dis- agree, or strongly disagree as her response to each item. For each value only certain items contributed to the score. The items were scored and each strongly agree and strongly disagree was given a weight of two. Each agree and disagree reenonce was given a weight of one, according to Thnmna' scoring crocodure (hgl. The scores were totaled, giving a raw score for each hereon in each of the six value areas. Analysis of Date Resnonsen of each of the thirty girls were correlated with the scored recoonses of her mother and the scored reanonees of the girl's best friend, using the Pearson nroduct moment correlation (5?). Thus, for each of the six value areas there were two simple correlation coefficients, one measuring relationahin between the values of the teenage child and her mother and the other between the adolescent and her best friend, who was assumed to renresent the peer groun. CHGVTVR TV FINDINGS Th9 finfiirgs seemed to indicate there is limited sufincrt of the hyscthesis. The values of the girls aflrsared more closely corrslstsi with their nethers' values than.vith those of their rears. In the following table the coefficients of ccrrslstion ccmrarfid the girl and friend, and girl and rather on each of the six value areas. The left hand column lists the value areas, the middle column comharss the girl with her seer, and the left hand column comnares the girl with her mother.
