The purpose of this study was to determine the mental health assets and liabilities of prospective elementary teachers as compared with undergraduates outside the field of education. This investigation sought to determine differences in mental health adjustment between the prospective elementary teachers and undergraduates enrolled in selected divisions of a college other than the Department of Education. Additional attention was given to possible differences in mental health adjustment among the prospective elementary teachers when scholastic attainment, age, marital status, the urban-rural factor, and socio-economic status were considered.
