Abstract	The 168 items selected for administration to 7,905 17-year olds in 1976-77, were developed from existing National Assessment items and from existing sets of life/coping skills. Skills designated as basic included: career development; citizenship; community resource utilization; consumer protection; family management; health maintenance; and interpersonal competence. Results are summarized as percentages correct for either the best or most acceptable response to a single-part item, or to a certain combination of parts in a multipart item. Results are also summarized on sets of items related to the various skills. Results are reported by geographic region, sex, and grade. The appendices contain guidelines for writing basic skills items; a description of the stratified, multistage probability sample design and of the jackknife method for standard error estimation; and a discussion of nonresponse adjustments and estimated population proportions of reporting groups.
