This study involved the construction of a theory and scoring manual for assessing the developmental stages of individuals' concepts of marriage. Four stages (Magical, Idealized Conventional, Individualistic, Affirmational) were identified. The reliability of the scoring procedure (interrater and item-total protocol) was judged to be acceptable. Correlations with age, schooling, ego development, and years of marriage support the marriage concepts stage sequence. Adolescents (N=162) scored at the first two stages of marriage concepts. However, in ego development, their mean score was above the Conformist level, thus suggesting that the adolescents were more advanced in their overall personality development than in their developmental stages of marriage concepts.
本研究涉及构建一个理论和评分手册,用于评估个体婚姻观念发展阶段。确定了四个阶段(魔幻、理想化传统、个人主义、肯定)。评分程序(评分者间和项目总分协议)的可靠性被认为是可以接受的。与年龄、教育程度、自我发展和婚姻年限的相关性支持婚姻观念阶段顺序。青少年(N=162)在婚姻观念的前两个阶段得分。然而,在自我发展方面,他们的平均得分高于从众水平,这表明青少年在整体人格发展方面比在婚姻观念发展阶段更为先进。
