Supersymmetry and Superparticles

[DB]

In a nutshell, could someone refresh my memory on supersymmetry and superparticles. I have trouble understanding these subjects of string theory.
Let's say we have a fermonic string of spin -1\2. What is it's superparticle's spin? Is it bosonic?

Thanks to all

The theory has strings with fermionic and bosonic degrees of freedom, that is all. No a elementary object being fermioni or bosonic.

What do you mean by degrees of freedom?

The chart available at the following link should be helpful regarding particles, superparticles, and spin:

Partner-superpartner spin relation?

The chart available at the following link should be helpful regarding particles, superparticles, and spin:

According to this chart, the spin of a superpartner is always -1/2 the spin of the "ordinary" partner" except for the higgsino which is +1/2 the spin of the higgs.
I aways wondered why the photino couldn't have a spin of 3/2 instead of 1/2, for example.
Any references or explanations to explain why this is?

TIA
