Ego identity status and reported alcohol consumption: a study of first-year college students
Article Abstract:
A study to determine the frequency of alcohol consumption and ego identity status of 419 first-year college students was conducted using the Khavari Alcohol Test and the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. Results show that respondents with lesser identity status sophistication elicited higher levels of alcohol intake. Inverse linear relationships exist between identity status sophistication and the level of annual alcohol consumption.
