This study was concerned with individual, parent, and spouse role satisfaction of recent graduates of Wisconsin's Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education system. Responses from 1,302 subjects were analyzed. Subscores on the “Life Skills” Inventory determined the level of satisfaction. Scores indicated overall satisfaction with preparation for life skills. However, analysis of variance revealed significant differences on Individual Role scores by sex, age, and current residence. Spouse Role scores were significantly different for marital status and current residence. Significant differences due to sex, marital status, and number of children were found for Parent Role scores. Differences in satisfaction with life skills imply that curriculum development for education for individual, parent, and spouse roles should proceed differently for persons differing in sex, age, residence, marital status, and number of children.
