Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between the agent's definition of Extension's educational role and selected situational and background factors. All 334 male county agents in North Carolina responded to questions designed to reveal whether they had a narrow definition of Cooperative Extension (it is an agricultural agency for farm people) or a broad definition (it is a general adult education organization). It was found that the agent's college major, hours of social science coursework, reaction to a hypothetical study grant offer, and plans for advanced study, were related to his definition of Extension's role.
