Society and the Adolescent Self-Image

by Morris Rosenberg

Overview

Over 5,000 high-school students of different social, religious, and national backgrounds were studied to show the effects of family experience, neighborhoods, minority groups, etc. on their self-image and response to society.

Originally published in 1965.
