抄録

The first purpose of this study was to examine the concurrent validity of Ego Identity Status by using self-reported measure of Rasmussen's EIS. Its second purpose was to investigate sex differences in the resolution of identity and intimacy crises. Method: An EIS was first administered to 68 male and 66 female university students. Subjects were categorised as high and low in ego identity on the basis of EIS scores as follows: high if their EIS score was greater than third quartile, and low if their EIS score was less than first quartile. A semi-structured interview of ego identity and intimacy was then done to 15 male and 15 female students who were categorized as high, and 15 male and 15 female students considered as low. Results: In both sexes, more subjects classfied as high than subjects classified as low were in the higher identity statuses. In all areas except sex role, male and female demonstrated similar patterns of identity crisis resolutions. More females than males were in the higher intimacy statuses. More male than female were associated between identity and intimacy crisis resolution.
