The Institute’s 1935-38 program consisted of four discrete fieldwork projects

Evidence

Four fieldwork projects formed part of the Institute’s programme during the years 1935-8: 1 Research into women students’ attitudes to authority (based on a group of students from Sarah Lawrence College in New York). 2 Research into the influence of unemployment on the authority structure within the family (based on a group of families in Newark, New Jersey; it was intended that parallel studies should be carried out in Vienna and Paris). 3 An exhaustive analysis of the questionnaires used for the Studies on Authority and the Family, which had received only a cursory examination. These were concerned with changes in authority relations between young people and their parents in various European countries. 4 An exhaustive analysis of the Institute’s first research project based on questionnaires, concerned with the German working class. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 668 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
