Eighty college males were given an expanded identity status interview which included two new interpersonal-sexual areas, "attitudes towards sexual expression" and "sex-role beliefs." The relative contribution of the new content areas as well as of the standard three areas (occupation, religion, and politics) to overall identity status was assessed by noting the extent of correspondence. Identity status in each content area was also compared with performance on the dependent variable of cognitive complexity. Ideology contributed more than occupation both to overall status rating, as well as to discrimination on the dependent variable. Results on the two new areas supported the view that interpersonal-sexual concerns are important for men's identity development as well as for women's. The finding that all interview areas corresponded well with overall identity status and discriminated significantly on the dependent measure leads to the suggestion that the process variables of crisis and commitment may so overshadow a particular content area that any content of personal relevance for the late adolescent might be used in investigating ego identity development.
80 名男性大学生接受了扩展的身份认同访谈，其中包括两个新的人际-性领域：“对性表达的态度”和“性别角色信念”。通过注意一致性的程度，评估了新内容领域以及标准的三个领域（职业、宗教和政治）对整体身份认同的相对贡献。每个内容领域的身份认同也与认知复杂性的因变量表现进行了比较。意识形态对整体地位评价的贡献大于职业，对因变量的区分也是如此。关于这两个新领域的结果支持了这样一种观点，即人际-性问题对男性的身份发展以及对女性的身份发展都很重要。所有访谈领域与整体身份认同都很好地对应，并在因变量上显著区分的发现，使得危机和承诺的过程变量可能会使特定的内容领域黯然失色，以至于青少年后期任何与个人相关的内容都可能被用于调查自我认同的发展。
