Abstract
University students (N=212) responded to 40 questions regarding the effects of romantic relationships, 18 questions about their degree of ego identity formation, and 18 questions about their lovers' degree of ego identity formation. Results of an Analysis of Variance indicated that the degree of ego identity formation was related to "restrictions of time," while degree of ego identity formation in their lovers was related to "self-expansion," "fulfillment," and "limitations of communication with others."
