A study of the pol'al att's of West German youth, centered on degrees & kinds of pol'al engagement, authoritarianism & nat'lism, & based on 2 enquiries carried out with the aid of the German Youth Instit from 1958 to 1962: (1) on a representative sample of 660 youth from 2 heterogeneous areas, Northwest Germany & Rhineland-Palatinate; (2) on a representative sample of 2,000 youths from the whole of the Federal Republic of Germany. From data presented in tabular form it is concluded that: (a) the proportions on pol'al engagement (12% engaged'; 34% interested; 46% indifferent; & 8% skeptical & destructive) do not permit easy or clear answers to questions on the future pol'al att's of German youth; (b) some predictions are possible if the time element is taken into account; (c) there is no such thing as a 'generation of 1960,' but only youths with varying & sometimes opposite pol'al att's.
