Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to contribute toward the explanation of why the majority of the students do not participate in the various activities within the university of Jordan. An attention is focused on the effects of private family conditions on this participation. Data was derived from randomly selected sample of 820 students (males and females), from the faculty of arts, in the university of Jordan during 1989. It was divided into groups according to the level of participation as: high level group, middle level group, low level group, and nonparticipant group. And according to the pattern of parent authority as: Authoritarian pattern, moderate pattern, and weak pattern. Analysis of data reveals that student youth nonparticipation is positively correlated with the extreme pattern of parent authority (either authoritarian or weak) but it negatively correlated with moderate pattern of parent authority. But our date fail to support absolutely the argument that the pattern of family has an effect on youth non participation.
