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.

Seven- and eight-year-olds, representing a wide range of locus of control scores, practiced one of three self-verbalization treatments of behavioral rule learning: overt speech, covert speech, or a combination of both.
