Abstract
A group of 158 college students, many of whom had engaged in serious dissident behavior, and a group of 277 who had not been involved in dissident behavior, wrote brief descriptions of a ritual in their family life. Approximately 95% of both groups consider the family an important element in their development. A significantly larger percentage of non-dissident students reported the following experiences taking place within a family context: meals, positive communication with parents, and celebration of holidays with both immediate and extended families. A significantly larger percentage of more dissident students reported adverse communication with parents and TV watching.
