A Comparative Test of the Developmental, Role-Playing, and Defensive Explanations of Offspring Identification.

Sullivan, John L.; Minns, Daniel Richard

Adolescence, v13 n52 p605-13 Win 1978

The developmental, defensive, and role-playing theories of parental identification were tested on high school seniors. Results supported the developmental (warmth) hypothesis but were inconsistent with the defensive and role-playing hypotheses. Previous studies on identification are cited. (Author/SJL)
