Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the extent of continuation of radical commitment amongst former student activists. Twelve years after being originally surveyed, male activists and a comparison group of non-activists were followed up by a mailed survey. Questionnaires from 73 activists and 86 non-activists were returned. Activists were shown to hold jobs with lower status and to have lower levels of educational attainment than the non-activist controls. Activists' interest and participation in political and social issues showed considerable decline from the time of the Tint survey, though they were still marginally more active than the controls. Other measures assessed the perceived interest and participation of family members and peers in political issues and their support for the respondents' ideas and participation and semantic differential ratings for Father, Mother, and Yourself. Results were compared to those of previous studies and implications for several models of social movement participation discussed.
