Extract

The present paper continues our study of the parents of children of primary school age, in a sample taken from one of the authors' N.H.S. list. The details of the selection of this population, the methods of data collection, and the absence of any relationship between various social factors and neuroticism, were described in a previous paper (Pond et al., 1963) and are not repeated here. In this paper we report upon the marital history and adjustment of the parents of these 100 families, and investigate the relationship between neuroticism and these factors.
