TY - JOUR PY - 1935// TI - Attitudes and Behavior of High School Students JO - American journal of sociology A1 - Whitlow, C. M. SP - 489 EP - 494 VL - 40 IS - 4 N2 - A questionnaire study of the attitudes and behavior of 603 students in a six-year high school indicates that the typical student in this group believes that stealing, drinking, and lying, in the order named, are the cardinal offenses. Those most frequently admitted are swearing, disobedience, and lying. Boys resemble girls more in attitudes than in behavior. The consistency between attitudes and behavior is greater for girls than for boys.
