Ego Identity and Drug Experimentation: The Fable of the Arrested Abstainer.

Welton, Gary L.; Houser, Mimsie D.

Counseling and Values, v41 n3 p219-34 Apr 1997

Drug experimenters and drug abstainers were compared on identity achievement at a traditional, conservative, independent college (N=155). Drug abstainers were found to be more foreclosed than experimenters; however, in contrast to previous research, abstainers were not more identity-achieved. Additional findings and results are discussed. (Author/EMK)
