• The purpose of this study was to investigate in what aspects the personality of juvenile delinquents was similar to that of their parents. Subject used in this study were the juvenile delinquents, who were sent and under probation in Kanazawa Juvenile Court, and their parents. The Rorschach Test was administered to fifty sets of juvenile delinquents and their parents. The average ages of children, fathers and mothers were respectively 17 years 8 months, 50 years 6 months and 44 years 4 months and the average IQ of each group was 94.81, 90.12, and 85.31. The results were as follows:1) From the average frequencies of the Rorschach variables, it was found that the common characteristics of three groups-children, fathers, and mothers-were immaturity and weakness in emotional control. Any remarkable indicator which defferentiates the delinquents from their parents was not found, yet the sex responses in parents, especially in mothers, called the author's attention.2) The correlations among the three groups for the 12 test variables were computed by Pearson's r. As a result, it was supposed that children were similar to their fathers at the external level of personality and to their mothers at its deeper and emotional level.3) Davidson's Adjustment Sign showed a higher correlation between children and their parents than any variable of the Rorschach Test.4) In the diagnosis made according to the Rorschach responses, there was found a higher percentage of psychopathic mothers than in any other study. It deserves attention, even though a direct comparison is impossible because of a methodological difference.5) Eighteen out of 26 psychopathic children had either psychopathic fathers or mothers or both, but among 22 quasi-normal children there were only 6, either or both of whose parents were psychopathic. Moreover, it was found that mothers had a stronger influence upon their children than fathers.6) Children's personality was examined in reference to the success or the failure of probation or of corrective education. Its failure was found more significant in the psychopathic group than in the quasi-ormal group at the 5% level of confidence (x2-test).7) The relationship between the juvenile delinquents' reforming process and their parents' personality was also investigated. It was revealed that the children with psychopath parents were worse in the process than the others, which indicates that it is meaningful to test their parents in order to measure the degree of children's delinquency.
