As part of researching an experimental college with apartment-style group-housing, Schutz's (1958) FIRO-B and a 25-item Living Group Questionnaire were given to 123 residents in 1979. One year later, 134 self-administered the questionnaire and Schutz's Perception of Parents (POP) Rater, which consists of paired descriptions for three aspects of early home life (Attention, Discipline, and Warmth). After analysis of the 1979 data showed differential correlation by sex (Floyd, 1988), the 1980 data were examined for a similar effect. The only significant demographc difference between the two samples was on the families' socioeconomic status with more upper middle-class respondents in the 1980 group (x2 = 7.49, p< .01). Both samples showed significant differences on some living-goup items by sex and on others by academic standing, but the only point of consistency was that in 1980, as in 1979, men placed more importance on household members being willing to have sex with one another (F = 6.99, p< .01). There were no significant sex dsferences in POP ratings, but the POP items were highly intercorrelated, and partial rs for five living-group items showing zero-order correlation yielded three significantly related to Warmth. Students who said they had not received much affection as children expressed more concern about household members observing the same dietary practices (rm = .20, p = .01), and placed less importance on touching (rn = -.18, p<.05) or hugging and kissing one another (5 = -.20, p<.05). Analysis of women'; ratings showed Warmth similarly related to concern about d~et:~ry practices (r, = .25, p<.05), and lack of concern about couching (r, = -.31, p<.01) or hugging and kissing (rp = -.27, p = .01), whereas men's ratings showed no significant correlations on these items. Discipline was negatively correlated with concern about dietary practices (rD = -.17, p<.05), meaning students who depicted their parents as having been strict with them placed less importance in this area, but no sex difference was found. Additional evidence was obtained for the concept of differential scale relevance and also a possible qualification for Schutz's postulate of relational continuity in that response to the college living group as an extension of the parental home appeared to be sex-specific. Despite efforts to control for intercorrelation and sex differences, the dietary practices item still seemed to tap both Discipline and Warmth suggesting, as Schutz (1958, p. 91) noted about Attention and Warmth, that these items may be logically distinguishable but empirically related.
