Abstract
Forty-six subjects (Ss), discharged within
the last five years from an institution for emotionally-disturbed children, were randomly
chosen. They were placed into two populations,
according to degree of success after discharge.
Success was determined by adjustment to their
environment outside an institution. The two
populations were. grouped within themselves
according to six categories: 1) age of S on
admission to the institution, 2) age at discharge
from the institution, 3) length of institutionalization, 4) sex distribution, 5) urban/rural
distribution, and 6) family background.
Difference of the Mean was used to test
for significant difference between the two
populations for categories 1, 2, and 3. Chi
Square test was used for categories 4, 5, and
6. At the 5% level of confidence no significant
difference was found except in Category 3. In
this category a highly significant difference
was found.
