Ego Identity: Developmental Differences and Experimental Substance Use among Adolescents.

Jones, Randall M.; Hartmann, Barbara R.

Journal of Adolescence, v11 n4 p347-60 Dec 1988

Secondary school students (N=12,988) completed Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status and questionnaire assessing experience with cigarettes, inhalants, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine. Discriminant analyses of substance use, across achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, and diffusion identity statuses, yielded significant functions for each grade comparison. Foreclosed adolescents reported lowest frequency of experience; diffused adolescents reported highest frequency. (Author/NB)
