Babbitt, Charles E.; Burbach, Harold J.

Youth and Society, v21 n4 p472-82 Jun 1990

Presents data collected in the late 1980s about a shift in the locus of the self among college students from a self anchored in institutionalized roles and statuses to one lodged in affect, preferences, and styles of behavior. Compares findings with those produced in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. (JS)
