Adolescent Hopes, Worries
Topic of Girl Scout Survey
New York IU.R) Today's ado
lescent girls are resolving the
conflict between homemaking
and career that plagued previ
ous generations of American
women. They plan to continue
their education and work for
a time before marrying, and
they want white collar jobs for
themselves and for their hus
bands. Only 7 per cent wish to
marry men who work in fac
tories, on farms, or at a trade
or craft.
These are some of the find
ings of the first nation-wide
survey of the personal and social
interests and aspirations of girls
11 through 18 years of age, made
public yesterday by the Girl
Scouts of the U.S.A. The study,
conducted for the Girl Scouts
by the Survey Research Center
of the University of Michigan's
Institute for Social Research
was directed by Dr. Elizabeth
Douvan and was under the su
pervision of Dr. Stephen Withey,
program director of the Center.
Based on interviews with a
scientifically selected sample of
nearly 2,000 girls representing
all girls now in the 6th through
12th grades, the survey covers
girls' hopes, worries, relations
with parents and friends, dating,
plans for education, work and
marriage.
Two-Part Survey
It is the first section of a two
part survey undertaken by the
national Girl Scout organization
on the needs of adolescent girls
and ways in which these needs
can be met. The second section,
dealing specifically with the
Girl Scout program and its serv
ice to girls, is expected to be
completed early in 1958.
The study reveals that ado
lescent girls are under most
stress between the ages of 14
and 16 when they are beginning
to establish relationships out
side the family that are equally
important to them.
According to the survey, most
girls start dating at 14. While
only one-fifth of those under 14
reported any dating, 70 per cent
of those in the 14 to 16 age
bracket not only date, but date
regularly, ofien every week end.
Of the girls over 16, 90 per cent
date regularly.
The study brings out the fact
that contrary to popular opin
ion, only 10 per cent of girls 11
to 18 years old "go steady."
Asked what they thought of "go
ing steady," less than one-fifth
said they liked the idea. Sixty
per cent of the girls over 16
thought there were more disad
vantages than advantages to this
practice.
Personality Counts
Most girls interviewed rated
personality higher than physical
appearance as a factor in deter
mining popularity with boys.
The majority of girls think
it is legitimate and necessary
for parents to make rules for
their children, and they agree
with the specific rules their own
parents make. More than half
believe the rules governing their
behavior are fair and helpful.
When adolescent girls do dis
agree with their parents, the is
sues are most likely to be cloth
ing, dating, and hours, the sur
vey indicates. Younger girls, un
der 14, report conflict over
clothes and use of makeup.
"Driving and dating are most
often issues for girls in the 14
to 16 age group," the study con
tinues, "and the oldest group
disagrees with their folks about
ideas."
In their job plans, girls want
"steady employment," "interest
ing work" and "nice people to

work with." High pay and pro
motion rank mud. lower. Only
2 per cent of all the girls want
to run their own business.
The kinds of jobs which re
quire the feminine characteris
tics of helpfulness and service
to others are invariably more
popular than professional or
career jobs that require long
training, according to the sur
vey. The most popular occupa
tions, in order, are secretary,
nurse, teacher, and social
worker.
Eight out of 10 girls inter
viewed said they want to grow
up. to be like their mothers, oth
er female relatives, or teachers.
Only 2 per cent are interested
in becoming glamorous movie
or TV stars.
Although 94 per cent of the
girls expect to get married
"some day," only 3 per cent said
that they wish to become house
wives. The survey points out
that this may be owing to the
fact that most girls covered by
the study are thinking about
the next few years rather than
the relatively distant future.
One-third of the girls want
college educations. This figure,
the report notes, is much higher
than the number currently en
rolled in the nation's institutions
of higher learning.
Friendships play a very im
portant part in the lives of ado
lescent girls, the study reveals.
They need and want loyal girl
friends whom they can talk to
and confide in. Six out of 10
girls interviewed said they felt
a friend could be as close to
them as a member of their own
families. Consideration for oth
ers, skill in social activities, and
good moral character were cited
most frequently as the basis for
liking another girl. Only a
handful gave social status as a
criterion for choosing friends.
Most adolescent girls, accord
ing to the study, do some kind
of work to earn money. Nearly
60 per cent hold jobs outside
their homes and 20 per cent earn
money for home chores. Baby
sitting is the most common type
of work for girls from the age
of 12 on. Of the girls over 16,
a sizeable group have jobs in
offices and stores.
Half of the girls interviewed
reported they were currently
getting an allowance and, among
these, more than 50 per cent
said they received from their
parents between $1 and S5 a
week as spending money.
