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.
