Abstract
The authority and its influence upon the personality of children in 85 of three-generation families in Tottori city was surveyed through the same method as in the second report. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The direction and distance on the scales in the diagrams (Figs. 1-7) suggests the presence of various unpreferable characters, such as nervousness and aggressive tendency. 2. Dependency is most distinct under any authority. 3. Grandparent-dominant type of authority is most undesirable for character formation of children.
