RESUMO
This paper intends a comparative analysis of personality traits likely to be found in two groups of subjects, namely people happy, or unhappy with the use they make of their spare time. The random-selected, quota sampling sample involved 300 Argentine subjects (37% male subjects, 63% female subjects) aged 15 to 22, from different social-economic levels. All subjects were living in the city of Buenos Aires. The technique of profile analysis for 2 independent groups was applied. Once the hypothesis of parallelism was refuted, it was decided that the simple variance technique should be resorted to. From the 16 variance analysis performed (i.e. one for each personality factor), statistically significant differences--with a 5% risk level--were found out among the groups as regards the following factors only: Factor C (Emotional instability, or Ego weakness-Higher ego strength), Factor H (Threctia-Parmia), Factor O (Untroubled adequacy-Guilt proneness), and Factor Q4 (Low ergic tension-High ergic tension).

RESUMO
The purpose of this paper is to measure attitudes towards loud music and to evaluate the influence of some variables on such attitudes. The scale of attitudes towards loud music was administered to a sample of 173 sixteen-year old subjects. The majority of the adolescents show neutral or favorable attitudes towards loud music. The sex and environmental noise variables have a non significant influence on this attitude. The majority of the sampled group attend dancing places (clubs, discotheques, etc.) once or twice a month and sometimes listen to loud music at home or at friends' home. Finally, adolescents showing favorable attitudes attend dancing places or listen to loud music more often than those showing unfavorable attitudes. This paper is a first approach to a deeper research to evaluate the possibility of modifying experimentally the attitude towards loud music by means of a message displaying both physical and psychological damage this fashion has caused.

RESUMO
En este trabajo se presentan las normas percentilares del test 16 PF de R. Cattell para sujetos argentinos de 17 y 20 anos. Este test fue administrado a una muestra de 314 sujetos argentinos de ambos sexos (157 varones y 157 mujeres ) de 17 anos de edad y a una muestra de 240 sujetos argentinos de ambos sexos (127 varones y 113 mujeres) de 20 anos de edad. En las dos muestras se obtuvieron las medias aritmeticas, las desviaciones estandar y los rangos percentilares para ambos sexos y para el total. Finalmente, para comparar los grupos de diferente sexo y edad en los 16 factores de personalidad fueron aplicadas pruebas de diferente sexo y edad en los 16 factores de personalidad fueron aplicadas pruebas de diferencias de medias aritmeticas para muestras independientes, fijando un nivel de probabilidad de 0.05
