S ummary . This study is concerned with correlates of bureaucratic orientation among 10 to 11‐year‐old boys and girls. 86 children in three primary school classrooms completed the School Environment Preference Schedule (Gordon, 1971a) together with other personality and attitudinal measures. Bureaucratic orientation as measured by SEPS was found to correlate significantly with dogmatism, conservatism, neuroticism, and extraversion. The findings provide further validation data in respect of the SEPS.
