  abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if Texas 4-H members had developed leadership life skills and ascertain if this skill development was related to their participation in the Texas 4-H program. A secondary purpose was to determine if Texas 4-H members differed from non-4-H youth in the development of leadership life skills. The 4-H population was all 4-H club members, ages 13 to 19 in Texas in the spring of 1991. A modified random cluster sample was used to select the sample which was surveyed using a data collection instrument. The population of non-4-H youth was all students in grades 7 through 12, in the Texas public school system in the spring of 1991. A random cluster sample of 28 schools was selected and one English/Language Arts class in each school was surveyed using a data collection instrument similar to that used to survey the 4-H sample. Descriptive statistics were used for reporting the personal and situational characteristics of the respondents. Relationships among these variables, leadership life skills, 4-H participation, and participation in other activities was determined using Pearson product moment correlation coefficients and analysis of variance. T-tests were used to compare 4-H club members and non-4-H youth among the various variables. The major findings of this study were as follows: (1) Four-H club members perceived themselves as having developed a significantly higher level of leadership life skills than non-4-H youth. (2) Forty-four percent of the 4-H respondents participated in the 4-H program at above the average level. (3) A moderate relationship existed between 4-H participation and the scale Leadership. (4) A low relationship existed between 4-H participation and the scales Communicating, Working With Groups, Decision Making, and Understanding Self. (5) Four-H club members were significantly more active in Career Related Clubs, Subject Matter Clubs, Junior Livestock Associations, and Church Youth Groups than non-4-H youth. (6…
