Deviation from age-appropriate identity-developmental stage and problem drinking in 75 undergraduate women was investigated. A quantity/frequency scale assessed problem drinking. Two measures of identity, one projective and one observational, were used. May's Deprivation/Enhancement fantasy pattern measure assessed sexual identity. The College Women's Assertion Sample assessed the cognitive-style component of identity. The results supported the hypotheses that younger (freshman/sophomore) women deviating from their age-appropriate identity stage of dedifferentiation, and older (junior/senior) women deviating from their age-appropriate stage of identity integration, were significantly more likely to experience drinking problems than were women who had entered their age-appropriate identity stages. The findings support psychodynamic theories of identity development in late adolescence, and suggest that problem-drinking women in different age/ developmental stages of identity drink for different reasons and should be treated differently.
研究了 75 名本科女学生在与年龄相适应的身份发展阶段和酗酒问题上的偏差。一个数量/频率量表评估了酗酒问题。使用了两种身份衡量标准，一种是投射性的，另一种是观察性的。梅的剥夺/增强幻想模式衡量标准评估了性身份。大学生女性主张样本评估了身份的认知风格成分。结果支持了以下假设：与进入与年龄相适应的身份阶段的女性相比，偏离与年龄相适应的去分化身份阶段的年轻（大一/大二）女性，以及偏离与年龄相适应的身份整合阶段的年长（大三/大四）女性，更有可能出现酗酒问题。这些发现支持了晚期青少年身份发展的心理动力学理论，并表明处于不同年龄/身份发展阶段的有问题饮酒的女性饮酒的原因不同，应该区别对待。
