Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a relationship exists between fabric preferences and selected personality characteristics of delinquent and nondelinquent adolescent girls. Respondents for this study were 53 delinquent girls in a North Carolina school for juvenile correction and 49 nondelinquent girls enrolled in a high school in Greensboro, North Carolina. The two groups consisted of 15, 16, and 17 year old girls. Both groups were given the Compton Fabric Preference Test consisting of 78 35mm slides. The California Psychological Inventory, because it is believed to measure personality characteristics to be important to social living, was administered to the two groups.
