The emotional stability of the transient

Abstract

"The percent of significant responses (on the Woodworth P. D. sheet) is greater for the transient group on certain questions, which may be an indication of the motivation of transients. The transient is characterized by frequent change of interests, not knowing what he wants to do next, and restlessness. There is some evidence that the younger transients are more motivated by feelings of insecurity and unhappy home environments." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
