Peer reviewedWaterman, Alan S.; Archer, Sally – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1979
Three studies assessed the relationship between expressive writing (poetry writing and journal keeping) and ego identity development among high school and college students. Poetry writers were more likely to be in the identity achiever status. No differences were found between students keeping personal journals and those who had not. (Author/GDC)
