Developed a new measure of Erikson's (1950, 1959) concept of ego identity which would meet the following criteria: (a) that it be short, with an acceptable level of reliability; (b) that it be objective and easily scored; and (c) that it be free of response set contamination. A 12-item scale (Ego Identity Scale) with a forced choice format was constructed. Two further studies were conducted to test the validity of the scale. These studies showed that the Ego Identity Scale correlated as predicted with measures Of locus of control, intimacy, dogmatism, Tomkins' Left, occupational commitment, and political commitment. It also correlated in the predicted direction with measures of interpersonal trust and moral commitment though these correlations did not reach statistical significance.
开发了一种新的衡量埃里克森（1950年、1959年）自我认同概念的方法，该方法应满足以下标准：（a）简短，具有可接受的信度水平；（b）客观且易于评分；（c）不受反应定势污染。构建了一个12项的量表（自我认同量表），采用强迫选择格式。进行了另外两项研究以检验该量表的效度。这些研究表明，自我认同量表与控制点、亲密关系、教条主义、汤姆金斯的“左派”、职业承诺和政治承诺的测量指标的相关性符合预期。它与人际信任和道德承诺的测量指标的相关性也符合预期方向，尽管这些相关性未达到统计学显著性。
