Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The relationship between the global health level of the personality and perceptual behavior was explored in a fundamental manner independent of specific needs, drives, or psychopathology. Current psychoanalytic theory regarding the nature and functions of the ego served as the basis for the personality construct selected, ego strength. The ability to test reality served to establish the connection between level of ego strength and adequacy of the perceptual system. The selection of the operational definition of ego strength involved the consideration of a number of factors including the population to be studied, the independence of the operation from the behavior under study, the relationship to other research, and the congruence between the measure and the construct's description. An extensive review of the Barron Ego-Strength Scale, a sub-scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), indicted that it was the most reliable and valid measure of ego strength currently available [TRUNCATED]

The general purpose of this study was to carry out an investigation based on psychoanalytic concepts as a frame of reference. Adolescent girls were chosen as subjects. The primary object was to assess the usefulness of the id, ego, superego (IES) test as a means for differentiating between delinquent adolescent girls of high rating in adjustment and those of low rating. Two qualified observers, in a training school for delinquent girls, were asked to agree on a choice of two groups of girls whose daily behaviour in the school had shown one group to possess and the other to lack the ability to make socially acceptable adjustment. The subjects in both groups were given the IES Test and the scores were compared to determine whether the tests would differentiate between the groups. None of the eight hypotheses concerning the expected differences of the two contrasting groups with regard to impulse, ego and superego test scores were confirmed. However, the arithmetic trends in the scores were consistent with the experimental hypotheses in seven out of eight Instances. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate
