A Jesness Comparison of "High Risk" Jr. High Students with "High Achievers" and with Students Attending a Provincial Training School.

Guidance & Counselling, v8 n5 p37-50 May 1993

Three groups of Canadian secondary school students ("high risk" or "high achievers" junior high students and training school students) completed the Jesness Inventory, developed to study delinquency. The high-risk students' scores were more similar to the training school students' scores than to the high achievers', except on one index. (LKS)
