The topic of ego development developed when psychoanalysis did not
fulfill all the initial hopes during its early period of
prominence. Clinicians--psychiatrists, psychologists, social
workers, and counselors--realized that they needed to know more
than their patients' or clients' psychopathology or normalcy and
their psychosexual behavior and drives.
The method for scoring sentence completions presented in this
manual was originally developed for a study of women and adolescent
girls. By the time it was first published in 1970, however, the
method had already come into use in studies of men and boys. Since
then, it has been used with widely varying samples, and the test
has been translated into several other languages. This wide
adoption testifies to the need for such a test. The present version
of the manual incorporates three major improvements:
* it is based on data from, and is intended for use with, both
males and females,
* its format is easier to use, and
* the examples cited reflect current public attitudes.
The format of the scoring manual for the Sentence Completion Test
(SCT) is radically changed from the original, making it easier to
find the correct rating for a response. The rating scale itself is
kept simple and the basic concept of ego development is the same. A
tutorial is included to assist in calculating the Total Protocol
Ratings (TPRs).
ALTERNATIVE BLURB
The Washington University Sentence Completion Test, which was
developed by Jane Loevinger, is a free-response, semi-projective
instrument for the assessment of ego development. The first manual
for administering and scoring the test was published in 1970. In
addition to its widespread use in the United States, it has also
been adopted for use in Canada, the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, India, and South Africa.
The WUSCT has been used for research in the fields of adolescent
personality development, moral development, infancy and parenting,
family and gender studies, multiculturalism, religion,
psychopathology and psychotherapy, vocational studies, and social
and organizational psychology. It is most frequently used by
researchers and practitioners in psychology, counseling, social
work, and education.
This book represents a revised edition of the WUSCT scoring
manual, including all items in the 1981 forms, which were revised
for use with both men and women. The content reflects current
social attitudes, which have changed on some topics since the
publication of the original 1970 manual. Although there have been
minor changes in terminology, the conception of ego development is
unchanged, and the stages of the construct are essentially the
same. The format of the scoring manual, however, has been radically
changed for ease of use in rating responses. (The rating scale
itself, which is the same for all items, is kept simple.) A
tutorial is included to assist in calculating the Total Protocol
Ratings.
