Popis:	This research investigated the influence of institutional characteristics on the attitudes of parents of children hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. Attitudes toward “hospitalization” of parents of children in-patients in the state hospital were compared with those of parents of children in a private, intensive-treatment hospital unit. It was hypothesized that the latter group would report more favorable attitudes. A modified semantic differential technique yielded results supporting the hypothesis. Thirty-four of 45 scales were significantly different. These results suggest that institutionalization and treatment policy are reflected in parents' verbalized attitudes. Implications for theory, methodology, and practice are discussed.
