Course and correlates of personality development in college women. 1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26643660

The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate social learning theory and organismic developmental theory on the basis of data concerning the course and correlates of female personality development. Participants were 125 Radcliffe College seniors (Class of '81) who volunteered for the research by completing a 17-page mailed questionnaire. The sample represents 21% of all women in the Class of 1981. The self-administered questionnaire included the Gough Adjective Check List; the Loevinger Sentence Completion Test; and a questionnaire which assessed family background, occupation and education of parents, evaluation of parents' personality traits and of student's relationships with her parents, career and family plans and aspirations, parental influences on the subject, feelings about college, and description of ideal self. Many of the items in the questionnaire were drawn from two other Murray Center data sets: Rosalind Barnett's The Vocational Planning of College Student Women: A Psycho-Social Study, and Judith Birnbaum's Life Patterns of Educated Women. The Murray Center holds the completed questionnaires and machine-readable data for all participants.
