S ummary . The study is concerned with the development of the perception of interpersonal relationships in grammar school boys. The responses of three different age groups to a relatively new projective test specifically oriented towards interpersonal relationships are compared, and the results indicate that during adolescence major changes occur in the perception of solitude, two‐person, three‐person and group situations. Although many of the changes are consistent with present theory, it is noted that a considerable proportion of the evidence relates either to controversial issues in adolescent development or to areas which have received little attention in the past.
