A sociometric questionnaire identical to that responded to in 1942 by 337 boys and 363 girls in grades 6, 9, and 12 of six schools was administered in 1963 to 1, 034 boys and 1, 027 girls in grades 6 through 12 of four of the same schools. A reliably greater proportion of 1963 adolescents made cross-sex choices as compared to those in 1942 (five of six comparisons were reliable; three at the . 05, two at the . 01 levels). There were no reliable differences over time in proportions chosen by the opposite sex nor in the proportions chosen by no one.
