Abstract

This study examined the personalities of a group of college women and their interactions with social institutions. The focus was on the relationship between the changes in values and ideas brought about by the women's movement and the personal development of young women.


Participants were 30 seniors at Brandeis University selected in 1975 from the population of white senior women who were not receiving financial aid from the university. A range of academic concentrations were represented in the sample.


An initial questionnaire sought information about the women's backgrounds. This was followed by an intensive clinical interview that was tape recorded and lasted between four and six hours. The questions were primarily open-ended and covered a wide range of issues about the participant's family, growing-up years, college life, personal relationships, and future plans.


The Murray Research Archive holds copies of completed questionnaires, audiotapes of the interviews as well as typed transcripts for most interviews, and the interviewer's notes for each participant.
