Used semantic differential and rating scales to measure resistance to endorsing peer-sponsored misbehavior, judgments of the wrongness of such behavior in the abstract, and attitudes toward self, mother, father, peers, and adults in 116 females and 117 males at 4 grade levels (Grades 3, 6, 8, and 11) at one school and 3 levels (Grades 3, 6, and 8) at another. Ss were instructed differentially that no one, peers or parents would be informed of their responses. Results support U. Bronfenbrenner's (see PA, Vol 43: 5218 and 44: 16460) findings that American children resist more under the parent and less under the peer than under the neutral condition. Ss did not grow more exacting grade by grade, nor did they remain stable in their judgments of wrongness. Resistance and judgment of wrongness were highly correlated and steadily declined to the 8th grade, with females consistently higher than males. Differences in resistance for sex, grade, and instruction remained even when variance associated with judgment of wrongness was reduced. Difference between schools, however, did not remain. A marked loss in favorableness toward adults provides a basis for explaining the results.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
