Abstract: The present study sought to determine if a relationship existed between ASU freshmen women and their upperclass sisters in attitudes and behavior. An attitude and a behavior questionnaire were scored on a scale of 0 (conservative) to 5 (liberal) for each subject. Attitude scores were found to be generally higher than behavior scores. A relationship was found between freshmen and their upperclass sisters on attitudes but not behavior. A relationship was also found for upperclass sisters between their attitudes and behavior but was not found for freshmen women. Conclusions are: a) sibling attitudes but not behaviors are related, b) a relationship exists for upperclass sisters between attitude and behavior, and c) no relationship exists for freshmen between their attitudes and behavior.
