Note on the shifts of interest with age

Abstract

37 men between 23 and over 40 years of age estimated their reactions on certain tendencies at age 12 and at present. Assuming the validity of the testimony, the results show that a person's nature at 12 is prophetic of his nature in adult years in this respect, the median correlation for the 37 cases being .55.
