ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the data to indicate that the 13-year-old co-educated boys believed their schools to be more lively and less dull, to have more variety and to be less monotonous, to show more kindness and less unpleasantness, and possibly to show more enthusiasm than the boys from boys' schools believed about their own schools. The differences between the groups from co-educational and boys' schools are statistically significant at the.05 and.025 levels. However, it is interesting to find evidence that this difference in atmosphere probably includes a greater liveliness, enthusiasm, kindness and friendliness between pupils in co-educational schools. An interesting by-product of the results is a trend associated with occupational class, well defined in both boys' and girls' schools, less certain among co-educated girls and absent among this sample of co-educated boys.
