SP - 368 EP - 376 VL - 24 IS - 4 N2 - A group of rockers (N = 46) was tested using questionnaires by means of which their social background, views and attitudes to others, intelligence, performance motivation and further personality variables such as aggression, extraversion, neuroticism and rigidity were investigated. The control group comprised a sample population of non-rockers (N = 132) matched with the rockers as regards age and education. Rockers come more frequently from broken homes and families with financial difficulties. They display more aggression, criminality, intolerance and dislike of other groups and have a higher alcohol consumption. They advocate physical strength and violence. There are frequent changes of employment, as well as a high proportion of unemployment and unqualified occupations. Their intelligence lies below that of the average population. As regards the other personality variables they did not differ from the control group.
