Loevinger's conception of ego development predicts a curvilinear relation between it and conformity. Using 107 private-school boys in grades 8, 9, and 11, self-report, peer-nomination, and experimental (Willis) measures of conformity were given. An archival measure, number of demerits, was also obtained. As predicted, the self-report and archival measures show maximum conformity between the Self-Protective and Conscientious Stages as measured by the sentence completion test. These results are not artifacts of age or IQ. The Willis test does not correlates significantly any other variable, and the peer ratings were methodologically suspect. Thus one aspect of the conception of ego development is partially confirmed. Conformity. as measured by these typical tests, is shown not to be a unitary variable.
洛温格的自我发展概念预测，它与从众之间存在曲线关系。对107名八年级、九年级和十一年级的私立学校男生进行了研究，采用了自我报告、同伴提名以及实验性（威利斯）从众测量方法。还获取了一项档案测量指标，即违纪次数。正如所预测的那样，自我报告和档案测量结果显示，根据句子完成测试衡量，在自我保护阶段和尽责阶段之间从众程度最高。这些结果并非年龄或智商的人为产物。威利斯测试与任何其他变量均无显著相关性，而且同伴评分在方法上存在问题。因此，自我发展概念的一个方面得到了部分证实。通过这些典型测试所衡量的从众表现并非单一变量。
