Abstract

The personality structure of activists was compared with those of activist-sympathizers and conservatives on a university campus. The activists were most clearly distinguished from the other two groups in their manifestation of unconscious ambivalence toward their fathers and in their conflict over middleclass values. It was also found that conservative students manifested a somewhat parallel ambivalence toward their mothers and had more difficulty in relating to the opposite sex.
