title: Comparison of Edwards Personal Preference Schedule Norms with Recent College Samples.
abstract: Comparisons of the 15 major needs assessed by the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) were made between the original manual norms for college men and women published in 1959 and urban college men and women studied in 1973; between the means for Roman Catholic sisters published by Gardiner in 1973 and urban college women studied in 1973; between urban college men and urban college women studied in 1973; between urban college men and women studied in 1969 and urban college men and women studied in 1973. The major trends noted in the data were (a) a shift in the expressed needs of the sexes so that they were more nearly alike and (b) a similarity in the patterns of need changes for the sexes. It is suggested that these changes may be attributed to societal changes in the past decade.
