The relationship of ego functioning and intelligence to social status and social mobility
Abstract
Ratings of coping and defense mechanisms were made on the basis of intensive interviews of 99 adult men and women in a longitudinal study. Childhood and adult social status ratings were also available. The results showed that childhood social status had little effect on adult ego functioning, that adult status and mobility were positively related to adult coping functions and to selected adolescent personality variables. Impulse regulation in the coping sense was related to upward mobility for both sexes, but the men controlled and modulated impulse, whereas the women expressed impulse. Certain kinds of defensiveness were negatively related to mobility for men but were independent of the mobility of the women. Although intelligence was moderately predictive of social mobility for the females, it was independent of mobility for the males. (20 ref.)Preview Only.
