Inelastic {pi}{sup {plus_minus}} differential cross-section measurements at a pion incident energy of 162 MeV were made for 12 (f{sub 7/2}{sup d}{sub 5/2}{sup {minus}}1) 6{sup {minus}} states in {sup 32}S, including four tentative new isoscalar states. Isoscalar and isovector magnetic structure coefficients were determined for each state by combining the pion data with previous electron scattering data. The trend of small isoscalar/isovector strength ratios continues in {sup 32}S, with the isovector strength being comparable to theoretical calculations, but the isoscalar strength exhausting only about 17{percent} of an extreme-single-particle-hole model. However, this isoscalar strength is larger than that observed in other sd-shell nuclei and exhausts 75{percent} of large-basis shell-model predictions. The substantial fragmentation of the 6{sup {minus}} isovector strength observed in {sup 32}S electron scattering, but not previously observed in other self-conjugate nuclei, appears to extend to the isoscalar strength and to include substantial isospin mixing. The general systematics of isoscalar and isovector stretched state transition strengths are reviewed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
