| Summary: | McArthur posited that public and private secondary schools represent different sub-cultures. It was here hypothesized that when exposed to these divergent sub-cultures, individuals with different family religious backgrounds should exhibit intrareligious differences in value structure. The Prince Differential Values Inventory was administered to 162 Harvard College students. Among public school graduates, Students from Catholic family backgrounds tended to manifest an Inner-directed value orientation, those of Jewish background tended to manifest an Other-directed value orientation, and students from Protestant and mixed-marriage backgrounds were equally divided between the two orientations. However, among private school graduates, Catholics tended toward Other-directed and Jews toward Inner-directed value orientations. Again, students from Protestant and mixed-marriage family backgrounds were equally divided. |
