The purposes of this study were to clarify the differences of retirement experience from the viewpoint of ego identity crisis and to investigate the factors related to them. In Study I, psychological influence of retirement and the way to deal with it were analyzed by giving the SCT to 220 men. The following seven Retirement Recognition Types were found: A: The Active-Welcomer, B ; The Passive-Welcomer, C: The Neutral, D: The Crisis, E: The Resignated, F: The Escaper and G: The Ambivalent. These seven types were classified into four Marcia (1964)'s Identity Statuses. In Study II, the correlation between the above statuses and 1. the achievement level of psychosocial tasks in Erikson (1950) and 2. the ego functions was investigated. It was clarified that The Identity Achiever (The Active-Welcomer) achieved psychosocial tasks better and had better functioned ego in comparison with the other statuses. These psychological traits implied the ability to recognize crises and the way to resolve them leading the “reorganization of ego identity”.
