Ginsberg, Sheila D.; Orlofsky, Jacob L. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1981
The relationship of identity status to ego development and locus of control in college women was examined. Identity statuses did not differ significantly in self-reported locus of control, but did differ on the "depth" measure of ego development. Identity achievers were more advanced in ego development.

A comparison of identity status, locus of control, and ego stage development was completed using 294 college students. Identity achievement students were found to be more advanced in their ego stage development and level of internality, while diffusion students were less advanced. No evidence was found for intraindividual development. (Author/RD)
