An Approach to Evaluating Adolescent Adaptive Processes: Validity of an Interview-Based Measure.

Beardslee, William R.; And Others

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v15 n5 p355-75 Oct 1986

An initial exploration of the validity of 15 scales designed to assess adaptive ego processes in adolescence is presented. Diabetic youngsters, psychiatric patients, and high school students with no illness are compared using the scales. Correlations are found between the scales and a separate, conceptually related measure of ego development. (Author/JAZ)
