Extract

In this study an attempt was made to relate personality as measured by the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (Crown and Crisp, 1966, 1970) to selected psychosocial characteristics of undergraduates in residence, the majority of whom were between 18 and 22 years of age. Individual questionnaires were sent out. Just under 50 per cent of the questionnaires were returned, and the present analysis is based on this sample.
