Separation-Individuation and Ego Identity Status in New Zealand University Students.

Kroger, Jane

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v14 n2 p133-45 Apr 1985

This study explores intrapsychic structures underlying Marcia's ego identity statuses in terms of separation-individuation patterns. Marcia's Ego Identity Status Interview and Hansburg's Separation Anxiety Test were administered to 140 undergraduates in New Zealand. As predicted, high statuses showed less anxiety than secure attachment or detachment. (Author/BS)
