N2  - The results presented are from a longitudinal study of the whole of one week's births in Britain. At seven years the children's teachers completed a social‐adjustment schedule (B.S.A.G.) for each child. Analysis of the overall score derived from the B.S.A.G. shows that many more boys than girls show deviant behavior in school at this age and that such behavior is also more frequently seen in children from lower social class groups. The overall score can also be divided into constituent sub‐scores (or "syndromes") which are designed to measure different aspects of social‐adjustment. For each syndrome, children from manual, working class families more often show extremes of behavior than children from non‐manual, white‐collar families. For 8 of the 10 syndromes, boys more often show extremes of behavior than girls. Some of the theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
