Abstract
Interviewed 60 lower-class male residents of Santiago, Chile. 30 Ss were urban migrants; the other 30 Ss were born in Santiago. Projective measures of role differentiation and empathy were collected, as well as demographic information and a measure of neurosis. As predicted, role differentiation and empathy were positively correlated with each other and negatively correlated with neurosis. Urban-born Ss were higher in role differentiation and lower in neurosis than migrants; both groups were similar in empathy. Age and education seemed to be important variables influencing these relationships. Results are discussed in terms of transition problems of urban migrants. (20 ref.)
