An instrument measuring Perceived Vulnerability was administered to grades three through twelve across a rural school district. The background literature base for the concept and validity of the Perceived Vulnerability measurement is reviewed. A series of means is calculated for the above data and subjected to a simple analysis of variance. Resulting data support a relative unchanging level of Perceived Vulnerability with a possible rise in the fifth grade level only. It is concluded that an adequate control value for this rural school district is established which can be used to measure impact of teaching programs. The need for further research to investigate the fifth grade "window" is noted.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
