1 I haven't chosen the occupation I really want 1 2 3 4 5
to get into, and I'm just working at whatever
is available until something better comes
along.
2 My ideas about men's and women's roles 1 2 3 4 5
are identical to my parents'. What has
worked for them will obviously work for me.
3 There are a lot of different kinds of people. 1 2 3 4 5
I'm still exploring the many possibilities to
find the right kind of friends for me.
4 I sometimes join in recreational activities 1 2 3 4 5
when asked, but I rarely try anything on my
own.
5 Politics is something that I can never be too 1 2 3 4 5
sure about because things change so fast.
But I think it's important to know what I can
politically stand for and believe in.
6 I'm looking for an acceptable perspective for 1 2 3 4 5
my own "life-style" view, but I haven't really
found it yet.
7 There are many reasons for friendships, but 1 2 3 4 5
I choose my close friends on the basis of
certain values and similarities that I've
personally decided on.
8 Based on past experiences, I've chosen the 1 2 3 4 5
type of dating relationship I want now.

9 After considerable thought I've developed 1 2 3 4 5


my own individual viewpoint of what is for
me an ideal "life-style" and don't believe
anyone will be likely to change my
perspective.
10 My parents know what's best for me in 1 2 3 4 5
terms of how to choose my friends.

11 I've chosen one or more recreational 1 2 3 4 5


activities to engage in regularly from lots of
things and I'm satisfied with those choices.
12 I'm really not interested in finding the right 1 2 3 4 5
job; any job will do. I just seem to flow with
what is available.

13 My own views on a desirable lifestyle were 1 2 3 4 5
taught to me by my parents and I don't see
any need to question what they taught me.
14 I don't have any real close friends, and I 1 2 3 4 5
don't think I'm looking for one right now.

15 Religion is confusing to me right now. I keep 1 2 3 4 5


changing my views on what is right and
wrong for me.
16 In finding an acceptable viewpoint to life 1 2 3 4 5
itself, I find myself engaging in a lot of
discussions with others and some self-
exploration.
17 I only pick friends my parents would 1 2 3 4 5
approve of.

18 I've been thinking about the roles that 1 2 3 4 5


husbands and wives play a lot these days,
and I'm trying to make a final decision.
19 My parents' views on life are good enough 1 2 3 4 5
for me, I don't need anything else.

20 I guess I just take life as it comes, and I don't 1 2 3 4 5


see myself living by any particular viewpoint
to life.
