Sex Differences in the Identity Formation of College Students from Divorced Families.

Imbimbo, Patricia V.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v24 n6 p745-61 Dec 1995

Gender differences in identity formation were studied in 57 female and 39 male late adolescents (college students) from divorced mother-custody families. The absence of the father and the altered role of the mother appeared to have a differential impact on males and females who grew up in mother-custody families. (SLD)
