Ego identity status, ego development, and locus of control in college women. 1981

S D Ginsburg, and J L Orlofsky
Convalescent Hospital for Children, Rochester, New York.

This study examined the relationship of identity status to ego development and locus of control in 75 college women. The identity statuses did not differ significantly in self-reported locus of control, but did differ on the "depth" measure of ego development. Consistent with identity theory and with previous research with males, identity achievers and moratorium (incrisis) women were more advanced in their ego development than fore-closure and diffusion women.
