The Offers have pioneered in defining criteria of normality in adolescence, and in studying in detail the attitudes and behavior of normal teenagers. Seventy-three suburban, midwestern male high school freshmen were chosen for longitudinal study on the basis of their scores on the widely tested Offer Self-Image Questionnaire. The scores were all within one standard deviation of the mean in nine out of ten scales of the questionnaire. Although this rather homogeneous group could be divided into three distinctly different groups in terms of developmental patterns, sexual attitudes and behavior could not be correlated with any other psychological variable. Within the larger groups studied by the authors, the only other variables correlated with sexual attitudes were male versus female and older adolescents versus younger ones. Delay between biological maturation and heterosexual involvement appears to be neither consistently helpful nor harmful to total psychological development. Within the small group studied, timing of sexual acts relative to age seems to reveal little about personality development of the subject.
