Assessment of Identity Status in College Women Using Outer Space and Inner Space Interviews.

Hopkins, Linda B.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v8 n5 p557-66 May 1982

Investigated the validity of two approaches to the assessment of female identity status: the standard Outer Space interview used with males, and an Inner Space interview specifically developed for females. Found that, contrary to Erikson's theory, college women form their identities around Outer Space as well as Inner Space issues. (Author/GC)
