Abstract

It has often been assumed that a relationship exists between higher levels of cognitive functioning, particularly formal operations, and mature ego functioning in adolescence. This research examined the relationships between ego functioning and two domains of operational thinking: social interpersonal reasoning and physical-mathematical reasoning in 139 high school seniors. Subjects were given two measures of physical-mathematical reasoning, two measures of interpersonal reasoning, and the Sentence Completion Test of ego functioning, as well as a measure of verbal intelligence. Results indicated significant differences between males and females in patterns of correlations as well as in patterns of relationships in a causal analysis. Ego functioning was predicted by interpersonal reasoning for females and by physical-mathematical reasoning and verbal intelligence for males.

摘要

人们通常认为，认知功能（尤其是形式运算）水平较高与青春期成熟的自我功能之间存在关系。本研究在 139 名高中生中考察了自我功能与两个运算思维领域（社会人际推理和物理数学推理）之间的关系。受试者接受了两种物理数学推理的测量、两种人际推理的测量、自我功能的句子完成测试以及言语智力的测量。结果表明，在相关模式和因果分析中的关系模式上，男性和女性存在显著差异。对于女性，自我功能受人际推理预测，而对于男性，自我功能受物理数学推理和言语智力预测。
