Ego Development and Conformity: A Construct Validity Study of the Washington University Sentence Completion Test

Hoppe, Carl F.; Loevinger, Jane

Journal of Personality Assessment, 41, 5, 497-504, Oct 77

Self and peer evaluations and experimental measures of conformity were given to 107 adolescent private school boys. Student discipline records also indicated the number of demerits. The self-report measures and the demerits showed maximum conformity between the self-protective and conscientious ego stages as measured by the Sentence Completion Test. (Author/MV)
